What are you cooking in your slow cooker today?

(If you're using one, obviously!!)

I always seem to just chuck gammon in mine atm, or a giant cookie for pudding, so I'm looking for inspiration :)

Not today but i made a lovely celeriac soup the other day by putting these ingredients in except the butter

Thanks @AlpineSnow, I've never actually tried making soup in it!

I use a hand blender once it's cooled down

A whole ox heart for the dog.. But at the weekend I did curried mutton.

I use red onion as i find it comes out better when not frying

I'm not using it today but yesterday I made lasagne in it.

Bolognaise, but with frying steaks rather than mince - so much nicer😋

Earlier this week I did a beef & veg stew using tough-as-old-boots beef shin - it cooks that kind of meat beautifully & I did extra beef to use in a bolognese sauce in a week or so.

I also do chilli con carne, lamb shanks, ham hocks, Thai green curry...

There's a Facebook group called 'Slow Cooked Wonders' that is a bit bonkers but people put up some good recipes.

Sausage casserole, chicken thighs and curry are my favourites.

This week I have batch cooked mushy peas for freezer and done a lentil bolognese and a chickpea and potato curry in mine.

Bolognese

@SchoolNightWine do you slice up the frying steak, or cook it whole?

@longtompot
I fry it whole for a few seconds to seal it and then just add my sauce ingredients. The steak falls/shreds apart once cooked for a few hours and (I think) is a much nicer texture than mince.

An if it's meal.

If it's in the fridge it goes in.

King prawns and all the veg we have with some veg stock.

Today is chicken breasts with tin of tomatoes and mexican seasoning. On monday I did a chilli with casserole steak.

@Wherearemyminions would you mind posting your chickpea and potato curry recipe. TIA
