Not a fan of same meal the following day, not v os but will be if I can change it x

Hi,
you could add curry powder and rice for a curry, chilli powder and jacket spuds for a nice warming chilli or pop the leftovers inside a pie. You can also freeze it once cooked for another day.
Just a few ideas

I often freeze cooked meat (beef, lamb, chicken, ham) in tubs - enough to make a meal with or to use in sandwiches (if cooked as a joint and sliced). As Sunnyday says, a curry is a good way of ringing the changes. Using left over casserole in a pasty or a pie is another way.

i'm thinking of making devilled sausages in mine today. never tried it in slow cooker before but on a cold and windy day like today, a nice filling home made winter warmer is just what is needed. will serve it with rice.

Yes the I made the burritos, they were gorgeous! The refried beans werent too spicy at all - I didnt have any chillis in there anyway, just added a few dried chilli flakes which worked well.

Today I will be making rice pudding in my sc. Its only an argos value one which I got for less than £5 in the sale last year, but I love it! Everything tastes nice in there

I'm doing a pot roast chicken in my SC today. First time I've tried cooking a chicken in the slow cooker so I'm following a recipe I found on the internet. Smells yummy though (it's been in there since half 9 this morning!)

I worked in a restaurant kitchen and rules on freezing meat are this
1) Raw meat - freeze, defrost, do not refreeze
2) Cooked meat - freezer, defrost, do not refreeze
BUT If you have raw meat which is frozen, defrosted and then cooked it goes into category 2 - cooked meat - which can be frozen again. This is because bacteria in the meat will have been killed by the cooking and so it's safe to refreeze. Just remember you can only reheat cooked meat once after defrosting.
Hope it helps

I cooked a chicken in mine for the first time today too turned out wonderfully - much to the suprise to OH who was convinced it wouldn't work :rotfl:

I have the fixings for a chicken stew in there now for tomorrow - yummy
