This Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth is so easy to make, and is full of health benefits! Warm up this season with a cup, or add to your favorite soup recipe!

I was giddy with excitement when I woke up with colder weather. FALL IS HERE!!! As the temperatures get cooler, there’s nothing more refreshing than a hot steaming cup of bone broth. Have you ever tried a homemade batch?? I am hoping to convince you that it is not only easy, but there are so many health reasons you should add bone broth to your diet! First off, bone broth helps to promote healthy gut and digestion, helps to boost the immune system and fight off illnesses like the common cold, it reduces joint pain and inflammation, and promotes strong and healthy bones. Long simmering of bone broth breaks down the proteins into a more digestible form called gelatin. The gelatin is what helps with digestion and gut health, and also helps to promote hair and nail growth. Not to mention, a bunch of minerals and vitamins contained in just a small cup!

If you’re having a hard time setting aside the time, or difficulty sourcing grass-fed bones, there are a few pre-made bone broth products you can try. Personally, I like Kettle & Fire because they’re the only non-frozen and shelf stable product. If you buy their bone broth from their site, you can get 15% off with the promo code “WHOLESOME15”.

But, with a slow cooker and a little patience you can easily make this bone broth. Just roast the bones and throw the ingredients into a stockpot and simmer on low for 12-24 hours. Make sure you periodically check in and top off with water to make sure all the ingredients are submerged. Check out the video below for directions:

I store my bone broth in mason jars in the refrigerator. You can store for up to 5 days! Heat up and drink, or serve in your favorite soup. You can also use this homemade beef bone broth in one of my favorite recipes: Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff. Enjoy!

    Thank you for sharing. I’d like to make my own once I get the time. I’m drinking Au Bon Broth and I’m liking it because of how tasty it is. It had helped me with my joint pains and sleeping issues.
