5. On Serving Day:
6. Thaw completely.
7. Pour bag contents in slow cooker.
8. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-10 hours (depending on your slow cooker) or until beef is extremely tender. (If it’s not tender, it’s not done yet).

1. Make the tzatziki sauce (or use store bought). Combine yogurt, cucumber, dill, salt and garlic in medium bowl. Stir until creamy and combined. Salt and pepper to taste.
