Best slow cooker meals with no prep?

[InTheFamilyTree]

When I say no prep I'm happy to chop vegetables but no time to brown the meat, can't be doing with that at 7am!

Help me get organised for September, will be ferrying 2 kids to childcare and going our to work and am feeling the fear.

What are your fave slow cooker meals with no hard-to-get-hold-of ingredients and minimal prep? Aiming to use 3 times a week so need more variety than my usual stew.

This! It's so tasty and really easy.

Porridge oats can help thicken any mixture and are undetectable in the end result. Not to mention the feeling of dietary virtue it adds!

@Thiswillbeinteresting mix about 4 teaspoons of cornflour powder with a very small amount of cold water (just enough to dissolve it, don't let it get too runny), and I added it in about an hour or so before the end. It takes a little while to thicken up so leave it for a while and then check on it, and you can add more if you need to.

Thanks @wintertime6 I'll give that a go!

And thanks for all the delicious recipes on this thread, I am having to seriously meal plan to a tight budget so this thread is really helpful

Could you do this with plain flour too or would it have to be cornflour?

OP gammon is pork.

Also, baked potatoes work well...

@GiveMeAllTheGin8 sounds lovely, how much coconut milk do you put in? A whole tin?

I put a whole tin in, probably could have used a little less as I didn't have much chicken. Thanks Gin for the recipe, it went down very well

I think we'll try @ylvamoon veggie curry next

@MrsWithwithers I use a whole can. I used to use water with the chicken stockpot but now I just add the stockpot as it can become very watery !

@Thiswillbeinteresting sometimes if I don’t have cornflour I leave the lid off for last two hours . This will also thicken it.

I recently discovered tinned potatoes. Sound awful but they’re lovely chucked into a slow cooker curry or casserole and you don’t need to peel or prep.

@BigSandyBalls2015 I find potatoes don’t actually cook properly in my slow cooker, do these work well and are not still hard ?!

That’s the problem I had but tinned ones are fab, not hard.

Brilliant Thanks , will give them a go !
