Personal Notes:
*I ran out of beef broth one time and used vegetable broth instead and it gave it a different but very nice flavor.

I also substitute basmati rice for the couscous and if I'm really having a lazy day I just throw a bunch of potatoes in the crockpot and I serve it with a green salad.
