What's your favourite slow cooker meal?

[lucysmam]

I'm going back to work, after 6 months off, at the end of October. I'm expecting to be quite tired at first so want to pre-prep some meals I can then dump in the slow cooker on a morning, before I head out, while I'm still mooching about the house at a steady pace.

What's your best/favourite slow cooker meal that we can try? I always tend to do the same few things in mine & would like to use it more to make things easier for myself 🙂

We had chicken chasseur last night. Recipe from BBC Good Food I think. It was lovely with mashed potatoes and green beans on the side.
We also like chilli done in the slow cooker

Following!

I love RecipeTinEats’ beef and Guinness stew.

The organised mum has lots of good slow cooker meals. Her cowboy beans always go down well.

Diced beef, half a cup of boiling water with Knorr beef stock gel pot, dried parsley and a huge squirt and tomato puree and black pepper and a tiny squirt of garlic puree from a tube. Frozen dumplings on top. Serve with peas .

Bored of Lunch: The Healthy Slow Cooker Book: THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER amzn.eu/d/1dtg0es

I bought this book at the start of my mat leave as I wanted meals that were easy to sort with a newborn and four year old under my feet. 8 months on we still eat something from it at least once a week and can honestly say I've never had a bad meal from it.

I've been doing pulled pork with herbs and smoked paprika. It's delicious. We have it in rolls with a pile of coleslaw on the side. It also goes very well with this.

I buy a smoked ham hock/knuckle and remove the skin. 2 packs of quick soak split peas (soaked as per packet instructions) and throw in any veg I have- onion, carrots, potatoes, swede, celery etc. It makes a lovely, thick pea/ham soup.

I also like oxtail stew

I second this! It’s a brilliant book and all the recipes are so simple.

Bored of lunch as others have said, but also Taming Twins. My current favourite is her chicken satay.

Brilliant, thank you so much! I'll have a look for a second hand copy of Bored of Lunch now, and Taming Twins.

I cut down on the prep by frying the onion mixture and the chicken at the same time.

I mess around by adding in a blended red pepper and some blended cauliflower too. I also add a cup of red lentils and two tins of chickpeas to make the whole thing go a lot further.

I didn't know you could get frozen dumplings!

Oh yes!!! Aunt Bessie's 😂

Thank you

Gammon joint 3/4 covered in coca cola. It sounds strange, but it's fabulous.
