I have a lot of kitchen gadgets, but there aren't too many that I would really miss if I didn't have them.
My slow cooker is one of the few that I would really miss. I use it year-round, and I may even use it more often when it's hot out to keep from heating up the house.
Aside from the ease and the fact that it doesn't heat up my kitchen, one of the reasons I love using my slow cooker so much is that I can make so many different recipes with it - like this Slow Cooker Korean Beef recipe.
This beef is amazing! It has so much flavor and is so tender. I use 2 tablespoons Gochujang to give it just a little spice. If I wasn't feeding one kiddo who doesn't like spicy food, I'd use more because Gochujang is a great balance of sweet and spicy.
I serve this slow cooker Korean beef with rice and veggies to soak up all the yummy sauce. This beef reheats well, and it makes great leftovers.

This recipe looks amazing and I'd love to give it a try. I'm on a sodium restricted diet and would really like to find out the sodium content in this recipe before I give it a try. It looks like something my husband and I would really love.
Is there any way you can provide the sodium content? It would be very helpful.
Thank you so much!
