you could make things like chicken supreme pie , or any pie at that
consider buying things in bulk from sites like approoved foods ok its ood but a lot of the stuff is still decent

tuna or pink salmon fish cakes are nice and freeze well (freeze before frying them though), chicken casserole, sausage casserole, hm pizza (I get the value pizza in tesco for £1 and then freeze; when you want it just thaw and then top it will any leftovers you have and a bit more cheese - it's lovely and would be enough for two adults and a child with enough for a lunch for one the next day). cheese and onion pasties, meatloaf (freeze uncooked and then thaw and cook is better I think), liver and onions/bacon in gravy, veggie lasagne, minestrone soup (really thick with loads of beans and pasta in - just heat up and add parmesan), beff bourginion, diced pork and cider casserole. The only thing I don't do is freeze anything with unmashed potatoes in - for some reason they always go all funny when I defrost them - don't know why!.

When sticking the joint in the slow cooker, does it need liquid with it, and if so how much?
Thanks in advance.

I do but some people dont. Say on a £10 brisket joint a fill upto half the meat with water, herbs etc and then use the juice/water mix for my gravy base x

Cool that's sundays roast pork sorted. Thank you so much.

Got shepherds pie in slow cooker today minus the mash topping, will add that on top and finish off in oven when I get home.
