Has anyone ever done mince in the slow cooker without pre-browning it?

I was preparing a chilli at 8.30 this morning to go in the slow cooker, with rice bubbling away on the hob ready for tonight, when I realised I couldn't remember the last time I cooked tea at teatime :rolleyes:
I truly do :heart2: my slow cooker

Do you find yourself discounting recipes just because you can't think of a way to convert them to your slow cooker?

I'm making a sausage casserole for my husband's birthday today - 8 sausages (£1 special), tin of potato and leek soup plus chopped up potatos and leeks! Will be very potato and leek-y

Eurgh! It was DISGUSTING! The sausages were really pappy (even though I browned them first). That was my first attempt at sausages in a slow cooker too. Ruined my husband's birthday tea

I did a sausage casserole last week with tin toms, honey soy bbq sauce, garlic tom puree, was absolutely gorgeous, so dont give up with the sausages, its sometimes about trial and error:)

When I've done sausages in the slow cooker, I do brown them first, but they taste a bit like those sausages that you get in tins of beans. A very similar soft texture too.

I am not keen on sausages in the SC.

Today I am making a batch of curry sauce in my SC.

Cataddict I've done mince without browning no probs.

Yesterday I did turkey casserole in my new intellichef using the slow cook facility The most amazing thing about it is you can use the fry facility first to fry off onions/brown meat etc, then add the rest of the ingredients and switch to slowcook! Saves washing up which is ALWAYS good in my book
