• Place the beets inside of your slow cooker along with 2 cups of water.
• Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
• When finished, carefully remove the beets (they will be hot!) and let cool a little before removing the skins. You can wear gloves to rub the skin off without staining your hands or by rubbing the skin off with paper towels.

• Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
