Step 1

Remove the cottage roll from the plastic and netting.

Step 2

Place in the crockpot along with 3 cups of water. Place the cover onto the crockpot.

Step 3

Turn the crockpot onto high and cook for 4-5 hours.

Step 4

Alternatively, cook on low for 5-7 hours.

Step 5

Check to see if it's finished cooking. If it is, you should be able to separate it with two forks with ease.

Step 6

When it's finished cooking, remove the cottage roll from the crockpot and transfer it to a plate to cool for 5 mins.

Step 7

Get another plate or container to hold the meat. Separate the fat from the meat. I do so with two forks. One fork holds the meat in place and the other gently scrapes the fats off.

Step 8

Put all the fats back into the crockpot with the cooking water.

Step 9

Enjoy your delicious cottage roll with some mashed potatoes and gravy, or whatever side of your pleasing.

Step 10

Too make the broth. Add 15 cups of water to the crockpot and cook on low overnight. If your crockpot isn't big enough to do so. Just add as much cups as you are able, cook overnight then add the remaining cups of water in the morning.

Step 11

In the morning, skim off any fat chunks and put them into a container if you are going to utilize them or discard. Turn off the crockpot and allow the broth to cool.

Step 12

Transfer the broth to a container or pot and put it in the refrigerator to solidify the remaining fats onto the top so you can remove them.

Step 13

Once cold and the remaining fats are removed, your broth is ready to use or freeze.

Step 14

Enjoy!
