* I used 3 onions and beef bullion. I did not add the ¾ cup of water. Also, I am noticing that I totally did not follow the recipe. I did not read the recipe all of the way through!!! – I did not saute’ the onions before I put them in the slow cooker! I just dumped everything in the cooker and turned it on. I think I would do it the same way when I make it again!
