• If you not afraid of a few extra calories, boil the trimmed off meat & fat with a cup of water in the microwave (or on the stove) and then add just the "liquid" from that to the crock-pot. I like to trim the fat off the meat because not everyone likes fat in their sandwich, but the fat is full of flavor :).
