My first slow cooker experience

[LVLLM]

Well...as we speak I am cooking my first ever meal in my slow cooker. Chilli (without the beans or peppers). I have added 5 finger chillis and 2 medium hot chillis - oh and some cayenne, mince, mushrooms, celery, spring onions (only 3)and a tin of tomatoes. Fingers crossed
a) its cooked
b) its edible
c) Its nice and hot but not too hot lol

Ill report back tomorrow with the results (unless im off work ill )

i generaly start my slow cooker off at bed time then its ready around 4pm the next day when the kids get home from school.
not had it out for a while now though. gathering dust in the cupboard!

 

[Jim]

I prepare the meal the evening before, bring it to the boil in the morning and it's ready by the time we get home from work.

it was lush. did have to put it on high for a bit and I think i overdid the chilli - but a bit of sour cream and some grated cheese helped. got loads left too.
going to try morrocon lamb on sunday no idea how to make it but gonna throw stuff in got some nice morroccon spices.

gabi is bit better today - she was shivering and bless her wherever i went she followed , even sat between my feet when i was washing up

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Oh bless her.... thats so sad! xx

 

[LVLLM]

I know. I know Hannah Montana my wire will look after her though she is a love.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Good that she's got company... do you get back at lunchtime?

 

[LVLLM]

Yes always - well on a friday i finish at 2 so just wait and go then.
