Slow cooker meal ideas?

[Melisande90]

Hi all, as it’s darker and colder days now and I have a 7 month old who takes up a lot of my time 😅 I want to really start making the use of my slow cooker to make hearty and nutritious meals for DH and I. Problem is, I’m not a great or confident cook so we’re stuck in a rut of spag bol, beef stew, chilli con carne etc so I’m looking for inspiration. Preferably also meals that I can then whizz in the blender for my baby girl to taste also. Any suggestions/links to (easy) recipes welcome ☺️

Thai green chicken curry
Sausage casserole
pulled pork
Lasagne
Chicken stroganoff

@Fivemoreminutes1 Thanks! Love these suggestions!

I am a bit of a throw it all in cook in general. I am particularly fond of throwing it all in a slow cooker.

So today for tea i put the following into the slow cooker:

chicken thighs, courgette, mushrooms, sweet potato, normal potato, carrots, a pepper, cannelleni beans, 2 cans of chopped tomatoes, garlic and some chicken stock. Not sure what you'd call this mix but it tasted nice. We had it with green beans and peas on the side.

Oh and some spinach that needed using up.

Spanish chicken stew:
Chicken thighs (seal them in the cooker first)
Onions
Loads of garlic
Splash of red wine
Courgette
Yellow pepper
Tinned tomatoes
3 tsp Smoked paprika
Seasoning
Add butter beans, pitted black olives and chopped parsley at the end
Serve with rice or warm crusty bread

^^ my baby loved this meal when we were weaning!
