Doin' Some Cookin'... Slow Cooker Italian Shredded Beef

Work nights are busy enough, but a work night coupled with Little Man's swim class and an additional chore added to the night such as laundry makes for a very exhausting day. The last thing I usually want to do is cook dinner which is a shame because I absolutely love cooking.

Slow cooker dinners are what this working mama needs.

(It was a stormy day and the lighting at dinner time was not the best. Photo does not do this justice.)

This recipe for Italian Shredded Beef is so simple because you just dump the ingredients, set the timer, and let it do it's thang while you do yours.

The meat comes out perfectly seasoned and so tender. I mean, melt-in-your-mouth tender.

If I wasn't attempting another round of Whole30 this shredded beef would have been served on a crusty roll as sandwiches with some provolone cheese.
