Inspire me - slow cooker meals

[CheeseAndSaladCreamSandwich]

The -ber months are here, and tis the season to dust off the slow cooker once more 🥰

But what are you cooking in yours?

We are a very busy household and I love a batch cook. I have my rotation of the usual suspects (bolognese, chilli, curries etc.) but would welcome some inspiration!

Anything goes - beans, pulses, meat replacement products etc. No allergies or intolerances.

Thank you 🥘

We eat mostly vegan and have never really got the slow cooker to work for us. It just seems to turn most things to mush. There is so little vegan food that benefits from a long slow cook. I did buy a couple of veggie slow cooker cookbooks but wasn't inspired.

What I found transformative was the Roasting Tin books. Get in from work, chop everything up, chuck it in the oven and go and relax. It feels like someone else has cooked your dinner for you.

But will follow this thread with interest in the hope i can be converted!

I’m vegan and agree that slow cooking doesn’t really help here. I do use it to make Shepherds Pie filling, tomato sauces, soups but I find it doesn’t really work for us and our meals. I’m definitely up for being converted though,
