slow cooker beef casserole

[lookout]

If I put it on at 9am on low and we're planning to eat around 6pm is that too long? Should I switch it off at some point and them back on again later? Not very good at this slow cooker thing

The longer the better!

Thank you. And can I put wine in with the stock or is it best to boil the alcohol off first?

I've been known to put it on at midnight and eat at midday.

I bung everything in together and always tastes good.

I'd just throw everything in all at once

That's what I did in the end. Has been on since half eight. Smells lovely already! Thanks for the replies.
