Got my new slow cooker!!

[cjt110]

It's teeny and lovely. 1.8L of teeniness.

Tell me your failsafe recipes?

I always seem to end up drying out chicken or beef...

Beef stew, lots of red wine so it doesn't dry out 👍.

Chili con carne
Chicken casserole (keep chicken moist)
Bolognese
Mayflower chicken curry
Slow cooker Lasagna

Sausage casserole is very nice in a slow cooker, but you have to be prepared for the sausages to be soft! I pre-cook them so they're browned first, then shove in with some onion, carrot, turnip (or swede) and some new potatoes and whatever stock works with the sausage type. Four, five hours on high (or much longer on medium) and you're done. The sauce sometimes needs a bit of thickening but that's easy done.
