Instructions
- PREHEAT oven to 475F. Place bones in a roasting pan. Drizzle with oil, then toss to coat. Roast, turning bones occasionally, until they smell like roast beef and are dark brown, 30 to 40 min.

Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, then pour into the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, then pour in enough water to cover bones.
