The word โgratinโ usually calls to mind a dish thatโs a little elevated, meant more for special occasions like your holiday table or a celebratory dinner. But not this gratin. This Beef and Potato Gratin uses the magic of the slow cooker to produce a dish thatโs totally casual and approachable, but still equally crave-worthy. Itโs hearty enough to make a meal out of but itโs SO easy to make that it works for busy weeknights OR special occasions.
