  4. Transfer this aromatic mix along with the beef into the slow cooker.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, drained beans, Worcestershire sauce, and all spices.
  6. Pour beef broth over the mixture in the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Cover and set to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  8. Once done, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
