    I am so hoping Santa is going to bring me a slow cooker. I have hinted to all his little helpers.

    Of course I might end up with 4 :D

    I always used to make stew on Saturdays but now I play golf. With a slow cooker I can do both :j.

    The problem there is that all the stew may be eaten before I get home :eek:

    I shall check back here for recipes if my dreams come true.
  • corned beef hash in mine today - carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, packet of corned beef, beef stock (from cube), black pepper and glug of worcestershire sauce. banged it onto high as i want the potatoes to break up nicely. will serve with crusty white bread & pickled cabbage. yum yum! :D

    Spag Bol in my big one and chocolate pudding in the little one!

    Thought I would be extra generous today and give the family a pudding!

    When DD gets home she is going to make some garlic butter to go on our bread that is currently baking! Ooh I love the smells!
  • I have a gorgeous smelling Lamb shank with a couple of onions, a tiny bit of beef stock and Mint sauce covering it :D
    Smells delish already!
    I will be doing creamed potatoes, parsnips, Cabbage and carrots with it later:T:T

    Love this thread! has given me lots of idea's for my slow cooker!!!!
    (Anymore gladly recieved!)

    We are not using the slow cooker today - having stuffed mushrooms, quiche (for those who will not eat mushroom) and a large salad.

    Tomorrow hubby is getting liver and onions done in slow cooker.



    oooh not had that for years, can imagine it being lovely and tender when it comes out. how long would you cook it for though dont want it coming out like sawdust. could i put bacon in it and would just an oxo cube or 2 do to cook it in. would need to dust down my 2 person slo-cooker as no one else in family likes it but me?
  • my lamb breast was a bit greasy, ive never tried that cut of meat before, so maybe next time ill just do the meat alone and no veg etc.. but it was a first try with that cut, so better luck next time hopefully!:confused:
