Simple Slow Cooker Meals

6 replies

Have had our slow cooker for years now but it only ever gets used for beef stew!

DP works long hours and is trying to lose weight so I'm looking to start batch cooking substantial meals he can quickly pop in the microwave for lunch.

I'm out of the house from 8-630 Mon-Sat working and don't enjoy cooking so if anyone has any simple slow cooker recipes (I'm talking 3-5 ingredients) I would really appreciate if you'd share them.

Would love some recipes for slow cooker spaghetti bolognese/chilli/lasagne etc if possible.

I make this bolognese quite often www.bbc.com/food/recipes/classic_bolognese_rag_17689
I sometimes use all beef mince and usually don't bother with adding milk at the end.

Oh and I've bookmarked this one, but not actually made it yet!

curry - paste or powder, chopped onions (defrosted frozen easiest), tin of toms, chutney, some meat, and anything else you want to get rid of that is lurking in the fridge

a tin of baked beans with meat is also a good base for a meal - i've used pork or chicken. add herbs, garlic, stock cube, tom puree, bit of chilli maybe, a dash of white wine maybe. or you could add browned sausages
