Recipes for the slow cooker please...

[bignose]

Any ideas please?
Need food to be cooked and ready for when we return home from after school activities.

sausage casserole
chilli
curry

make as normal and pop in slow cooker instead of oven

Can I add an addiitonal question? How do you use yours? I am a complete novice and have just been switching mine on before I go to work in the morning. I return home to mush!!

I follow a very unscientific...

• gently fry some onion and garlic in pan
• add meat of choice and brown (preferably something that benefits from slow cooking)
• add some veg chopped into chunks (a couple from carrot, sweet potato, mushrooms, courgette, etc.) and heat through
• add herbs and spices according to taste (large pinch of cinnamon and a couple of cloves works quite well, particularly if you're about to add red wine)
• add can of chopped tomatoes and/or large slug of red wine and/or something else liquid and bring to simmering point
• add everything to slow cooker and leave on High for several hours (if I were literally leaving all day I might leave on Low)
