What's in your Slow Cooker 2019

Hobsons_Choice

Today I threw in: mince, mushrooms, peppers, garlic, onion and a carton of tomatoes with basil. Left to cook all day on medium, cooled and portioned up for the freezer. Some will be served with mash and greens, some as spag bol and some as a base for cottage pie. That's a few meals I can squeeze out of (mainly) bottom of the fridge stuff.

I've bought some beef skirting, can anyone give me some ideas on how long to cook it / what to make with it?
It is literally years since I've cooked this so suggestions welcome.

I make a 'lift' out of tinfoil strips so I can lift it out as it always falls apart! I put the bones back in and make stock afterwards

This is genius!!! I'm going to make a lift for my chicken from now on! I usually attempt to get it out with 2 spatulas and it never ends well. lol:rotfl:

If you like a bit of spice I usually rub mustard (whole grain) into mine, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and some water with a stock cube- cooks beautifully on low for 6-8 hours and leaves a lovely stock.

has any one cooked beef olives in the slow cooker? I am tempted to give it a shot but don't want to mess it up.

Chicken breasts and mushrooms in a bag. Perhaps with pasta and with broc stems

Chicken breasts in a jar of korma sauce in one and too many potatoes so sliced then up and cooking in other slow cooker with some stock

A gammon joint. We will have it with cauliflower and broccoli cheese, new potatoes, carrots and peas.

I've never thought of cooking chicken like that, sounds lovely! Could you tell me how much liquid you would put in and how long you would cook them for? Oh! and do you precook anything or just put it in raw? Thank you
Edit: I've just read the recipe thread and it looks like I should brown the chicken but wondering if you add the mushrooms nearer the serving time?
