Post your favourite slow cooker recipes

[Harnser]

With energy prices going up this winter many people including me will be giving slow cookers a go.

I've used mine a couple of times for beef stew (this recipe with 100g pearl barley added) but that's it. What are your favorite recipes you've cooked in yours?

I made a thing a few times before, been a while, but like tins of mixed beans, rice, ginger, chilli, garlic, chicken stock, coconut milk, carrots, aubergine and spring onions.

I don't have a recipe sorry because I just wing it.

Ends up like a bean and rice stew.

I do a 5 bean, bottle of Stout, Mince, chilli's, 80% Cocoa Choc, red onions, Worcester sauce and any soon to be out of date veg into the slow cooker for around 7 hours, which can make up to 20 take-away containers.

Bought a slow cooker around a year ago and haven’t even opened the box yet

Now that winter is approaching, I figured now is a perfect time to make some decent stews or casseroles.

Does anyone have any decent stew recipes?

Using mine tomorrow to cook some stewing steak and then attempting to make a steak pie with puff pastry. Got to have a bash whats the worst that could happen.

I was specifically looking for this thread. I have recently started using the slow cooker, I've since made Chicken curry and chilli con carne, both of which I was very satisfied with, except the cost per portion, I need to bulk it out more, but then the concern over getting the right amount of sauce is key.

I'm relying on the "Taming Twins" for my recipes at the moment, and I've also made a spreadsheet collating all the jars, tins, spices and herbs I have to make it easier when I'm going through the supermarket and looking at recipes so I know what I have.

The chicken curry I did was:

Slow Cooker Chicken Curry - The Easiest EVER recipe!

No browning, no preparation. Just leave this Slow Cooker Chicken Curry to bubble away and come home to the most delicious curry.

The chilli con carne I did was:

Slow Cooker Chilli Con Carne {Easiest EVER Recipe!}

Slow Cooker Chilli Con Carne is an easy way of making this classic staple dish. So good, so easy. A perfect fakeaway.

The next recipe I'm going to try is:

Red Lentil Dahl {Slow Cooker Fakeaways}

If you’re looking for an easy vegetarian curry as this week’s fakeaway, try this delicious and simple Slow Cooker Dahl.

www.tamingtwins.com

I have good expectations of the above one due to the use of Lentils as well as including Paneer, I imagine this will be more filling and go further, I can't wait to finish work at 8pm tonight after a 12 hour shift and run around Lidl to get the ingredients to get this fired up tomorrow morning.

This one never fails me.

Soft boiled eggs. (Dippy eggs, )

1. Place the room temperature eggs in the frying chamber of the Air Fryer.
2. Select the Air Fry function and set the temperature to 132°C and the time for 9 minutes. Start the Air Fryer with the eggs in the frying chamber whilst preheating.
3. Ignore when prompted to “Add Food” and “Turn Food.”
4. Once cooked, use tongs to remove the eggs from the frying chamber and place immediately into a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes.
5. Dry the eggs with a paper towel then roll on a hard surface to break the shell and carefully peel this away.
6. Enjoy !!

Hmmmm.

Variations on the Slow Cooker Chicken Curry recipe:​

• Butter Chicken Slow Cooker Curry – Add the juice of half a lemon, and 50g of butter before serving, stir well into the sauce.
• Slow Cooker Chicken Korma – Use Korma curry powder, and add 3 tbsp of ground almonds before serving.
• Madras Chicken Curry – Use Madras curry powder.
• Slimming World Slow Cooker Chicken Curry – Count the Syns for the mango chutney and coconut milk.

@Ad_Augendae Has the recipe raised suspicions?

 

[Ad_Augendae]

@willhub Nope, just liking the Variations on the Chicken one.

I like the prospect of a lamb curry, they have one in their website somewhere, however, meat is pretty expensive at least to me, I'm looking at around £20 for 2kg of lamb of beef, seems pricey to me I think it'd make about 8 meals or so, doesn't seem cheap maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Ad_Augendae]

We pay £9 for a Pulled Lamb (35min oven jobbie) because it's such a faff to get nice juicy. So I'm all Ears on anything that will produce nice Lamb in Slow cooker form.
Everything is painfully expensive these days I guess, such is life.

Think the past two meals I made hit £15 for what seemed to do 5 meals, 2 for me one day, 2 for gf and 1 small one for my son. The chilli defenitly went further and think that's a good one I'll use in the future and cost around £10 I think, maybe less.

I'm wanting £15 quid for a good 10 servings + really!, at this rate might have to go with some thing like "poor man's stew"

I'd expect any meal you do in the slow cooker re lamb would make it amazingly melt in the mouth, when I did the chicken curry even that just fell apart and was so nice, and when I did Gammon, the results were the same. Probably 8+ hours on low for best results I imagine.
