Easy Slow Cooker Recipes
Over the last couple of years I’ve started really loving my slow-cooker and I’ve developed quite a few slow cooker recipes that are simply delicious and very very easy
I just love that I can throw everything in, go out and 4-6 hours later come home to a satisfying and deliciously hot meal
It’s really great for meal prepping and batch cooking too
So why use a Slow Cooker (Crockpot)?
So so many reasons, here’s just a few
- Low running cost / Energy Efficient
- Versatile
- Prep ahead
- Convenient
- No oven on – no heating up the kitchen in hot weather
- You can leave them to do their thing and go do something nice
- Great for entertaining
- Easy preparation of family meals
The Recipes
So here are 6 off my fave Slow Cooker Meals – I have lots more on my website and I have more in the development stage too
And if you’re from the US, a Slow cooker is the same as a Crockpot!!
1. Slow Cooker Turkey Mince Chilli – yum!
This turkey mince chilli is totally delicious! It also happens to be super healthy and tasty. I have developed this one in the slow cooker and it’s perfect for those mid week meals. It has all the traditional flavour and richness of a beef chilli recipe but it’s a refreshing lighter change – I love it
- Top with cheese, avocado, nachos etc to make a real night of it!! (maybe serve with Margaritas 🙂 )
And it’s perfect for batch freezing
2. Slow Cooker Beef Curry – healthy
Here’s my delicious and easy Slow Cooker Beef Curry recipe, hurrah 🙂
A delicious medium spiced beef curry, where the beef falls apart and the spices are perfectly blended.
The slow cooker does the work and you return home to a wonderful and luscious dinner
Also perfect for Batch cooking and very easy to make
Serve as a quick midweek supper or get carried away and make it part of an Indian feast at the weekend
I love it with my Onion Bhajis 🙂
3. Honey Garlic Chicken (slow cooker)
This slow cooker Honey Garlic Chicken is delicious. It’s easy and packed full of garlicky sweetness, there’s a lot of garlic :-). It’s the perfect midweek meal, or family dinner when you’re busy
You simply pop it all in your slow-cooker (crockpot) switch it on – and off you go – I guess it’s what you call a dump recipe
And 4-6 hours later – boom a delicious hot and healthy dinner is waiting
You can serve with rice and it’s also yum with salad in wraps
4. Easy Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
Classic, Slow cooker beef bourguignon.
Sounds fancy pants doesn’t it? Well it’s really great, rich red wine gravy with falling apart tender beef that literally melts in the mouth. It’s stuffed with mushrooms, carrots and beautiful fresh herbs – YUM!!
A real winter warmer!
Please trust me it tastes so delicious, AND it’s super easy and once you’ve done the initial browning off of the beef, you simply chuck it in the slow cooker and go off any enjoy your day (or go to work – boooooo) – love that!
You could serve on a Sunday too or if you’re cooking for friends and guests it’s perfect
5. Easy Red Lentil Dahl, slow cooker (vegan)
A really lovely easy red lentil Dahl recipe. It’s taken me ages to get it just right.
I’m sure you’re going to love it as much as I do
It’s easy, vegan, vegetarian, protein packed, low-fat, and delicious!!
This makes a BIG portion – so please half the recipe if you only want to serve 4!
6. Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala – easy
Oh My! I love Chicken Tikka Masala, it really is one of my faves. So I decided to try and make it a little healthier and use my slow cooker to make it an easy midweek meal.
To be perfectly honest it’s good enough for any meal occasion. So please try this Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala, I’m convinced you’ll love it
My Slow Cooker version is a chuck it all in sort of vibe! Now we all love a dump recipe
It’s a delicious, not too spicy, tomatoey, creamy curry! Tender pieces of chicken surrounded by a delicious sauce, it’s so good and it’s bursting with flavour. Simply delicious and a guaranteed crowd pleaser
And one for good luck as I couldn’t choose just 6!
