Today I am posting about my go to favourite slow cooker dinners. They are easy and cheap to make. I have one recipe for every day of the week covered. So, you can get on with being the awesome super boss mum that you are.
But first, here is why slow cooker's are awesome.
I love using our slow cooker.
Partially because I hate cooking and partially because Brisbane is SO darn hot and I can't stand sitting over the stove in this heat.
But, there is another awesome reason I love using a slow cooker and that's because it saves me so much time. I just throw the ingredients in. Set it and walk away.
No need to worry about burning our meals - which I am a pro at by the way. Or being tied to the house when the pool is way more inviting in our Brizzy heat.
Lets get into my list of 7 easy and cheap slow cooker recipes.
#1 Slow cooker drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks are one of the cheapest meats to buy next to mince. You can find this delicious recipe at All recipes.com.au.
#2 Slow cooker Irish stew
To me, stews are soul food. They are so easy and delicious that I always look forward to dinnertime when I am making one. You can find this easy recipe at kidspot.com.au.
#3 Slow cooker Chilli Con Carne
D loves chilli and this is such a yum recipe that the kiddos will eat it too. I found this gorgeous recipe at kidspot.com.au.
#4 Simple Beef Stew
One of my favourite meals to make in our slow cooker when we need to stretch the budget is beef stew. I found this great recipe at eatingwell.com.
#7 Slow cooker whole chicken
When we hear slow cooker, like most of us. We think stews but here is a delicious roast chicken recipe you can make in your slow cooker. I found this awesome recipe at theslowcookinghousewife.com.
Okay my lovelies. It's time to get cooking, but before I leave here are a few more recipe ideas that I use.
I hope you found a recipe to fit your families tastebuds.
One quick tip that I always do when I cook a slow cooked meal.
Beside me always giving our slow cooker a good spray with spray on cooking oil. To stop food sticking to it and making it really easy to clean.
I combat the heat generated from our slow cooker by placing it in our garage while it cooks.
It is a win - win for me because I get a night off from the stove and our home stays cool even in the Summer.
What do you think Boss mum crew?
