Let's kno how it goes

My OH liked it, i thought it was a disaster! Put in too much stock without thinking, accidentally knocked off the slow cooker for a few hours so had to start again, and the chili chicken wasnt the best idea (tasted it but it was a bit weird with the stock)!! Ah well practice makes perfect!!

The chicken stew sounds delish, how many drumsticks would you use to make it 4ppts per person! I really need to make this.

Thanks

The chili was lovely - i used quorn but the slow cooker didn't like it and made it soggy - but the actual chilli was beautiful tho - will make it with real mince next time!

I used medium chicken breast fillets and pointed it as 4pp per fillet. Hope it helps!

I think its something that would take a while to master!! I'd say you're much better off just using regular mince..

Another fabulous option are Swartz SLOW COOKER packets ....

Sausage and bean casserole

1packet of casserole
low fat sausages (8)
1 onion
300mls water
can of beans (any of your choice)

Fry the sausages and onions in a pan. mix the packet with the water. then add everything to your slow cooker. cook for 6-8 hours. if theres too much water at the end, leave the lid off and it will evaporate. then ready to serve.

How do you work the points out? I've been looking at their stuff and can't work out how many points would be in it...? Thanks.

Work out the PP for each ingredient individually.. OR.. Input the recipe onto MFP and it'll add everything up as a total and you can work it out from that

I dunno if your new to slow cooking but ive always found these swartz packets tend to be quite watery once cooked ... i usually leave the cooker lid off for half an hour to an hour to help evaporate the excess fluid
