Tossing together this stew is rather simple. The slow cooker’s magic also results in almost minimal mess!

What sets this dish apart is:

Ingredients:

• Two pounds corned beef, diced into one-inch cubes
• Cut four russet potatoes into stew-sized chunks.
• Celery, two stalks sliced
• I chopped one white onion.
• Two big carrots, peeled and diced, or baby carrots
• Shred half a head of cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
• Three mugs of beef broth
• An ounce of Worcestershire sauce

2. Whisk together the pickling spice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper with the beef stock in a separate bowl.Over the contents of the slow cooker pour this mixture.
3. Cook until veggies are soft and meat is cooked through, 8 to 10 hours on low or 5 to 6 hours on high.
4. For a thicker stew, slurry up the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water.Stirring this into the saucepan, simmer for a further five minutes.
5. Present hot, garnished with finely chopped fresh parsley.

A few pointers
