When Thermomix and your Slow cooker make friends, this is what happens. Completely delish, feeds a crowd and no one is complaining. Easy. Go and do it

Before you get all excited about 3kg of beef plus everything else fitting into your Thermomix, read on friends, read on. This recipe is transferred into your slow cooker, so although we are hopefully heading into the warmer weather down here in Oz, the peeps up north (way north) are going into their cold season, so I thought this would be an opportunity for you to get all warm and fuzzy thinking about how I was thinking about you!! (You‘re welcome.)

I do love this dish, it is fragrant, easy, pretty and those rice noodles...seriously. If you haven’t tried them before, this is the time! GO AND DO.
