👩‍🏫 My Personal Experience

I haven't tried corned beef for years but the moment I smelled this corned beef cooking, I was hooked 😍. When the boys came back from school they started sniffing around my slow cooker like hungry sharks, I love it when they do that. I did not expect it to taste that great either, especially when I opened the package and was horrified with the amount of fat on top.

Seriously, this turned me down immediately 😑.

But being an adventurer in the kitchen, I decided to proceed. I added some colorful veggies but did not add cabbage, as this would have made my kiddos run away.

It is as simple as throwing everything in, set and forget. My kinda meal.
