Cajun beef and rice in mine ready to turn on in the morning.

That sounds good, have you got a recipe?

I've put in an Irish stew. Will do for today and three freezer portions for me. No-one else in my family likes it.

I've just noticed this thread so will be surfing for ideas. I love my slow cooker. So much food, so little washing-up.

Its a cheat, i saw those new schwartz recipes on the tv and in morrisons they had them for 49p. From what i remember its, 500g of lean mince, bunch of spring onions, 1 red pepper, 125g celery,125g rice, the packet mix of course and 475ml water.

Theres usually a recipe book with them which is a good easy way to start. Otherwise a chilli is quite easy too, I add a packet of mince, a tin tomatoes, chilli powder and spices, and a tin of water(I use the tom tin), then throw kidney beans in too. Its really simple and a good one to start with. Good luck

At the top of the page is a link to indexed collections and contained within it is a sc recipe booker, as most people who subscribe to this thread have at some point added a recipe or recommended i think it is safe to say they are mostly tried and tested. I wont go so far as to say foolproof tho. HTH.

Had a disaster in mine yesterday. This is the second time I cook in SC (first one was ok, but not something that I would like to eat again) and it was so dissapointing. I had potatoes, onions and turkey's leg in it on low for 9 hours and when i came home it was not ready! Potatoes was not ready, meat was pink from inside and hard. I wonder what did I do wrong??

I have easy chinese chicken in mine at the moment and it smells gorgeous:D
will serve it with rice.

Thanks to those who have mentioned about red lentils, I would never have used them thinking the family would refuse them but so far I have put them in veg soup and stew and no one has noticed :T Didn't think they would work in the chinese chicken though;)

I've got pork, cider and apple casserole in mine - smells wonderful! I'll do some mash and carrots/broccoli to go with it.

Can't wait until teatime
