what delicious meals can i cook in my slow cooker

[perfumelady]

i have bought my self a slow cooker, i have made stew and dumplings, chicken curry and vegetable curry, but i don't know what else i could cook, please can you tell me what meals you make in it and how long you cook it for.

i bought one the other day aswell.
have'nt used it yet as not sure what to cook, am looking for ideas aswell!

beef in beer/wine

pork in cider/calvados

pretty much most meats with alcohol really!

I would put it on in the morning and serve in the evening. Couldn't tell you how long!

Chicken breasts x2 can of tomatoes,garlic, onion, carrots, chicken stock cube, mixed herbs.
chop roughly and place in slow cooker all day then place pasta in 15 to 20 minutes before you serve. judge how much liquid is left but pasta absorbed excess liquid and it is a very healthy and kids loved it. suppose a bit boring though. worth a try. have made it once.

P&P - is that RAW pasta added or cooked pasta? Love the sound of it as YET AGAIN ive done beef stew for tonight.... it seems the only thing i can do in it!

jarm, u can also put pork chops in and cook those in there in a bit of grevy. do pot and veg seperate.

chilli is nice in the slow cooker

just normal dried pasta. it is bland but warming and something homecooked when you come in from work and cannot be bothered to cook.

THANKS!

Gonna try that one.... all helps what with this Lardy Club malarky!

I take it you mean by lardy club trying to shed a few pounds after Christmas or just'fat club' I know so politically uncorrect!!! or do you mean something completely different?

sausage casserole
sphag bol
chilli
vegatable soup
just about any type of casserole, note if cream, milk etc needs to be added, add half to one hour before serving.
joints of meat
christmas pud
upside down pud
sponge cake.

there's a thread on here where we are trying to shift a stone after xmas (im trying to shift a tad more than that - post baby lardy arse etc!) so that was what i was reffering to - sorry!

Jessarmum Must check out that thread and s/c Christmas pud in slow cooker? have i got that right? please explain.

yes, i have the antony worrell thompson slow cooker(large family one) and there is a recipie for xmas pud in there although i havent tried it myself.naturally you put it in the slow cooker in the pudding bowl.

cooked a brisket of beef in mine today, i put about an inch of water in, with an onion cut in half and a carrot chopped in four (just for flavouring)cooked it on slow all day ,my god the meat was so tender it practiclly feel apart when cutting it.

def' going to try spag bol next
