I am trying to cook lots more from scratch. We eat chicken fairly often so I would love some simple slow cooker dishes based on beef, pork, lamb, sausages etc

I do neck of lamb fillet in chunks with onions, carrots, fresh rosemary,a generous glass of red wine or two and a lamb stock cube - definitely no water and cook till tender then add a couple of handfuls of pearl barley for 40 mins or so till cooked.
If too think add a tiny bit of water at the end.
We have it with crusty French bread and butter or cabbage and buttery mash .

I do a basic beef stew using diced beef, potatoes and carrots. Flour and fry off the beef, Add some Worcestershire sauce and red wine but not too much liquid. Slow cook for 5 hours.

I found a great recipe for pork shoulder which is a really cheap cut of pork. The long cooking time makes it insanely tender.

1.75kg pork loin OR shoulder, skinless
1 tbs oil
2 tsp EACH paprika, thyme
1 tsp EACH garlic powder, onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper , optional
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt

HONEY BUTTER SAUCE:
1/3 cup honey
Large knob of butter ,
3 cloves garlic , minced
1 tbs cider vinegar

THICKENER:
3 tsp cornflour.mixed with splash of water

Sear the pork in oil on the hob over a very high heat to brown. Stir in all the herbs and spices, and fry for a minute or two.

Tip all this lot into the slow cooker and add the ingredients of the Honey Butter sauce.

Leave it in the slow cooker on low setting for 7 or 8 hours. At the end, remove the pork. Taste and thicken the sauce - if you don't like it or find it too strong, mix the sauce with some ordinary pork gravy granules and hot water

Serve with mash and green veg eg kale

@EternalOptimist7
Yes in the slow cooker
I do it for 4-6 hours on high but can be left as long as needed
