3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 kaiser rolls, split and toasted
1 Reynolds(R) Slow Cooker Liner

1
In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until brown, stirring to break meat in pieces. Drain fat.

3
Combine beef and remaining ingredients (excluding kaiser rolls) in the slow cooker.
4
Cover; cook on high-heat setting 4 to 5 hours or low-heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
