What was the last thing you made in the slow cooker?

[Chocolateismyvice]

I usually love cooking but I have a very active 18 month old and am 4/5 weeks pregnant and exhausted already. So, I'm hoping to use my slow cooker a bit more. I recently made chilli which was lovely and making beef and tomato casserole next week, but looking for some other ideas.

What was the last thing you made in the slow cooker?

Chilli con carne
Before that was beef and cheese pasta

Thank you! @chillandrelax

Beef stroganoff yesterday, pork, apple and cabbage casserole today. Love my slow cooker!

Chicken noodle soup

[mammynowanauntyIRL]

Chicken stock in small one and turkey taco mince in big one. I expect my slow cooker may get pushed aside a little if when I buy an instant pot

[SkinnywannabeKBH]

In the passed month I've made
Roast chicken
Thai red curry
Beef casserole
Spaghetti Bolognese
Stew
And tomorrow were having beef Stroganoff

Just brought some braising beef for the slow cooker for tomorrow's dinner based on this thread.

I did Chicken Tonight Spanish chicken with peppers and chorizo last night. Served with roasted baby new potatoes and crusty bread.

Mince and veg. Fairly boring! But cheap and filling

@Roomba that chicken casserole sounds amazing! Any chance of the recipe?! Thanks.

I usually cook tender beef brisket for my family every Sunday. It's their favorite.

@ineedwine99

500g chocolate ( I use milk and white chocolate)
1 Tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
A tin of sweetened condensed milk

Bung it all in the slow cooker for 2-3 hours, stir regularly. Leave in fridge for 2-3 to set. Although I think it's better if left overnight.

I always cook a beef joint in my slow cooker 10pm overnight til morning and the meat is so soft and tender

[Giggorata]

I've got chicken casserole in it, ready to eat now.

I've got 2 slow cookers, too. I have a lot of vegetarian friends, so can do two versions of dinner, or else use one for soups or puddings

Shoulder of pork. Take off all the fat (make crackling if you want in the oven).

Pour over some stock and white wine, seasoning and a bay leaf. Cook on low overnight. Pull it and serve in rolls with stuffing and apple sauce. AMAZING!

Oooh I made curried cod last week. It was actually really good. Got the recipe from The Organised Mum website. Lots of easy slow cooker recipes on there.

[NoLeslie]

Whatever I make tastes like stew. I just wanted to say you will never be as exhausted as during early pregnancy with a toddler. I promise it gets better.

[SophieHattersStick]

Really interested to hear about how to make fudge in it!

[PanamaPattie]

Today, I have two on the go. One is silverside of beef which I will use with mash, veg and onion gravy later. I'll use some of the beef (pulled) in warm baguettes tomorrow and the left over meat for stew on Tuesday. The second one has got a rice pudding ticking over.

[ineedwine99]

@chillandrelax how do you do fudge??

[bellsbuss]

Chilli with chunks of beef not mince

[chillandrelax]

Fudge.

[Wildernesstips]

Boiling water goes in slow cooker not pudding moulds (like a Bain Marie)

[Wildernesstips]

Plum & Almond pudding

Butter 4 pudding moulds and add a tbsp golden syrup and half tbsp brown sugar to each. Add chopped plums to cover bottom.

Mix up sponge: 50g each of butter, caster sugar, SR flour, 25g ground almonds, 1 egg, almond essence and a tbsp milk. Add to moulds.

Pour boiling water to half way. Cover each with buttered foil and place in slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hrs.

Recipe from 200 Slow Cooker Recipes (Hamlyn) which has some really good recipes.

Creamy Chicken Tarragon Casserole... yum! I have a 6L slow cooker so made double with the intention of freezing half for next week. Unfortunately it was so tasty everyone demanded seconds, thirds, and so on until it was all gone
