This Beef Bone Broth recipe has been in my family for many years. Today, I am sharing my family recipe with my personal twist: Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth! My grandma used to make bone broth all the time, and she used it to “cure” many ailments, such as hangovers, joint pain, lovesickness, PMS, cold/flu, stomach discomfort, and more. In a nutshell… In her opinion, the bone broth was the panacea for all life difficulties. And I agree. I do not know the science behind this bone broth; I do know that when you drink a cup of it, you feel like your soul rises up. So, I decided to make a big batch and store it to be handy when needed.
