This way of cooking meats is much better for you and taste better too! Our family boils our meat in a big pot separately in water such as hamburger or what ever meat! We boil the meat in water for about 1 hour or until the meat is fully cooked. When done, we then use a colander and pour off the hot greasy water off into a bowl then you can discard out doors somewhere NOT pour your greasy water off into your kitchen sink! “Over time pouring grease or greasy water off into your kitchen sink drains will clog your drains” Now you have your meat cooked and a big percentage of your meat cooked without all that bad grease! Now you have your meat poured and drained in a bowl. Cooking your meat by this cooking method above, this way it won't give you any heart burn! Now you have your meat cooked with out all that bad grease and set aside. Instructions: 1. Stir bacon and beef together in bottom of crock pot. 2. Add the onion, potatoes and cabbage. 3. Stir in vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. 4. Stir in marjoram, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper. 5. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours.
