Brown any ground beef before adding to the crockpot. Itwill taste better and have better texture this way.

Add rice and noodles at the end of your cooking as well. They will turn mushy if they are cooked too long. You cancook these separately and then combine them when it's timeto serve.

Add your spices at the end.
