Slow cooker disaster
January23
My first attempt at cooking in my new old slow cooker was a bit of a disaster. It just smelt and tasted like lamb mince that had been cooked for 8 hours. We quickly made some pasta for dinner and will turn the mince into shepherds pie for dinner tomorrow.
My problem is that I have never really eaten red meat. And therefore I have never cooked with it. I can cook mince and chicken but am nervous about cooking beef or lamb. I think that I need to take a trip to my friendly local butcher (hes called Eric), get some beef and chuck it in with some ale, veg and gravy. And maybe make some dumplings to go with it. And hope that it turns out better than my last attempt!
if you try the link above, my friend Golightlycat has posted a nice beef in beer with dumplings slow cooker recipe.
I have a bunch of veg recipes over on my blog. But keep on with slow cooking, you will definitely figure it out!
Thanks for the links. I’ll definitely be trying some of those out. WF x
If you want to do a lamb roast, which is FAR easier than most people think, I have a practically foolproof method … email me if you like
yes! i don’t think one can really go wrong with slow cooking… it’s like magic – and smells/tastes delicious… keep us posted – how did it turn out?
Slow cooker is great for haggis!
Also lentils (no point in using it for ordinary beans)
