  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Sprinkle extra cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.
  • Serve warm with toppings like sour cream, green onions, or crispy bacon bits.
