I want to buy a slow cooker - please give me all your very best recipe's

[Mamazon]

I am often out most days until about 4:30 so they seem an ideal way to help get meals organised in advance.

I know i can do chicken caserole/spag bol etc but what other tasty dishes do you prepare in them?

i don't want to buy it and only use it twice a year.

Tried a roast chicken in there yesterday, got the recipe off the internet, so was a bit worried, but worked out fine. Put chicken in and cook on slow all day, voila

do an mn search mamazon and you'll find loads

this is a GORGEOUS one!!!

Coq a vin works really well in a slow cooker.

I make a nice tomato soup in my slow cooker.

It makes an enormous batch so there is plenty to freeze.

A few tins of tomatos, or a bunch of fresh ones.

2 chopped onions

garlic

a tin of chickpeas

fresh spinach

season with herbs (I like lots of oregano)

salt, pepper

Cook on low for 4-6 hours and then puree if you like. I think it is nicer pureed.

I also use this soup as a base for making my own curry sauce. I puree it with curry powder and cumin and it turns out lovely.

Chili is nice and easy in the slow cooker as wee.
