Is my casserole going to thicken???

[Love2bake]

I have had a beef casserole in the slow cooker since 9am.

It still jusy looks like meat and veg in thin gravy. Will it thicken on it's own by tonight?

I have no corn-flour to help it along later

have you any ordinary flour, or potatoes?

Did you toss the meat in flour before browning it?

Do you have any lentils?
Or plain flour( I don't use cornflour just mix some of the meat juice with plain flour to a paste then add back in)

I prefer to thicken with red lentils though

my cheating tip: chuck in a little bit of gravy granules/powder

I find they don't thicken, sorry.

you could add some cornflour, oatbran or some potatoes or soemthing.. maybe? I made a runny chicken one last week - still tasted nice but looked shite lol

I find that in a slow cooker it doesn't, sorry.

Just before you're ready to eat you could put it in another pan on the hob and simmer it for a bit to reduce some of the liquid.

There is some parsnip in it, but no potatoes. I was going to make roasties later.

No didn't roll the meat in flour

Could i just add normal flour?

dissolve flour in water (so no lumps)

add to casserole

Mash flour into butter and drop it in. That's my cheat.

Great idea's - thank you all
