slow cooker balsamic beef

Slow cooked beef with subtle flavors make a perfect low key weeknight meal.


I am still trying to figure out the best place in the new house for photos.  The kitchen table as you can see is not it.  Darkness is also setting in earlier and earlier. That means week night photos are no longer a possibility. Arg to winter's approach! 



This meal was a life saver for me and Mr. J.  It takes all of 5 minutes to put together and into the slow cooker it goes.  We came home to a perfectly roasted and tender piece of beef. Add some potatoes and Brussels sprouts and we had a complete meal. 

The flavors are subtle so it would be great for all taste preferences.
