Photographing food is not my best skill. Photographing food made in a slow cooker is even more challenging- especially if you want to make it look good! My family knows that before we can eat dinner, I have to photograph it. To help speed up this process, my husband will get in on the food presentation . . . he and I usually have a contest to see who can make and photograph the “best looking plate”. He is so wonderful and supportive of me and my funny hobby. 🙂 This is one of his food presentation winners; I had no idea how to make this slow cooked dish look appetizing, but I must say that he did a great job!
With the cornbread topping, all you need is a simple green salad to round out this meal. It’s so yummy and has a five-star reviews from everyone who tries it.
