    Beef casserole is a standard in my house..either eaten with pots etc or we like eating it with crusty bread (mmmm)
    We have a croc pot in our caravan which we set to cook all day so we come back to it!
    This recipe makes 6 and a portion is about 350 cals! Great to freeze too!

    Stewing beef 1 kg cut into cubes
    Onions to taste (I like loads..4-5)
    Carrots (again to taste...I use about 6)
    Butternut squash 1 medium peeled and chopped into cubes
    4 beef stock cubes made up with boiling water
    Herbs of choice 1/2 a- 1 tsp
    Large dash of Worcester sauce
    Salt n pepper

    Put everything in the pot and top with boiling water to cover (or almost cover if you seem to have too much..it will still cook)
    I sometimes add gravy granules if at the end it's not thick enough!

    Enjoy! :)

    Braised Red Cabbage

    Serves 8- 90 cals per portion.

    1 head red cabbage, shredded
    1 large red onion, sliced
    1 large apple (or 2 small), peeled, cored & chopped
    1 stick cinnamon (or 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon)
    1 tbsp brown sugar
    2 tbsp cranberry sauce
    1 tbsp red wine vinegar
    125 ml port or 250ml red wine.
    Salt & pepper
    water- to cover half way up.

    Bung it all in the crock pot and cook for 2 hours on high, or 4 on low.

    Excellent with Turkey at christmas, or with sausages & sweet potato mash, or duck breasts, or pork chops.... yummy! It is also delicious cold and will freeze.

    tip- is lovely with fresh cranberries added, or pitted prunes.

    Beef Goulash Stew

    Serves 4- approx 400 cals per portion

    1 onion, sliced
    200ml/ 7 floz beef stock
    1 tin chopped tomatoes
    2 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
    1/2 red pepper, sliced
    1/2 green pepper, sliced
    2 tbsp tomato puree
    3 tbsp paprika
    1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
    Salt & black pepper
    Sour cream, to garnish (1 tbsp per portion)

    1. Brown off the meat & onions and put in the crock pot with stock, carrots, tomatoes and spices. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.

    2. Add the peppers, tomato puree and season. Cook for a further 2 hours on low, or 1 hour on high.

    3. When beef is extremely tender it's ready- garnish with fresh parsley & sour cream.

    Have on it's own or with mashed potatoes, mashed root veggies/ butternut/ pumpkin or rice.

    And my chili recipe (will go up on Healthy Doesn't Mean Boring... at some point)

    1 lg onion, diced (or chopped)
    1 med. red bell pepper, diced
    2 Tbsp Garlic, minced
    3-1/2 cups tomatoes, diced (equals one large can)
    7-1/4 c. Tomato Sauce (equals 2 large cans)
    3 Tbsp Chili powder
    3 Tbsp Chili Sauce (Heinz)
    1 Tbsp Paprika
    1 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/2 tsp Bay Leaf, crumbled (or 1/4 tsp powdered)
    1-1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

    Throw it all in the pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or your entire work day + commute. :bigsmile: )

    slow cooker apples!

    5 large apples, whichever kind you prefer. I usually buy gala or some other red kind. make sure it is nice and firm
    brown sugar
    raisins
    butter
    cinnamon
    walnuts or pecans
    apple/or orange juice

    peel apple, but leave half inch strip around entire apple (helps apple from splitting while cooking). core it and scoop out some flesh. mix together melted butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins. sometime I add dried pineapple and coconut flakes. spoon it into the cored apple.
    pour an eighth inch amount of apple juice into bottom of crockpot (helps prevent burning) and place stuffed apples in it. cook on high for about 3 hours...occasionally spoon the liquid/nuts that fall out of apples back in and bathe the apples while they cook. I love making this during the fall especially! enjoy!

    This sounds amazing :)

    I put a turkey breast in my crockpot. I rise it off and remove the gravy packet. Add salt and pepper. NO WATER. and cook it on low while you are at work and its the best turkey ever!!

    You can also put whole sweet potatoes in the crockpot. Just wash them well and cook on low while you are at work. Again no water. They are the best !!!

    My favorite:

    1 Turkey Breast (bone in or boneless) sans gravy pack
    1 can of cranberries (jelly or whole berry)
    1 onion soup packet

    best ever....I usually reduce the sauce to make a MOCK gravy while the breast cools.
