If you don’t brown the meat first, the texture can get pretty mushy. Definitely don’t have to brown it first, though!

Wouldn’t the ground beef cook during the simmering or crock pot cooking?

Yep, every time I go back East the first thing I want my Aunt to make is her North Carolina pulled pork, it isn’t a true visit without it!
