Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Beef Bones
  • 1 lg Sweet onion Rough chop
  • 1 Carrot Rough Chop
  • 2 stalks celery Rough Chop
  • 2 tsp Rubbed Sage
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare Bones

  • Roast beef bones for 2 hours in 400 degree oven

Simmer Stock

  • Combine bones with remaining ingredients in a large (5-6qt) slow cooker. Start on high for 1-2 hours, then low for 8-10 hours. Allow some cooling time, but do not let stock go to room temperature.

Strain & Store

  • Put a colander into a very large bowl (best done in a sink) and pour in stock. Lift out colander, and discard contents. Strain what's left in the bowl with a fine mesh strainer into smaller, freezable containers.

Notes

You can add other veggie scraps too.  I wouldn't recommend using it right away.  After freezing, or refrigerating, a layer of fat will form on top that can be removed and discarded to make it a bit healthier. Then again...
