Help slow cooker recipies

[Babylicious]

I've got a slowcooker and never used it, no idea what to cook in it or for how long.

Please help before it becomes a wasted purchase

I mainly use mine for stews or curries, but my Dad makes soups in his too!

Steak Stew.
I just chuck in the chopped casserole steak, chopped onion, carrots, mushrooms, a squeeze of tomato puree, dash or worchestershire sauce and some water. Switch it on in the morning on the medium setting and then it is cooked by supper time

Chicken Casserole (this is one my MIL does and it is quite nice)
Chicken breasts, a tin of Campbells Mushroom Soup, same size tin of water, chopped veg of your choice, again switch it on and leave... then just before she serves she transfers to a oven dish, puts grated cheese on top with some sliced tomatos and puts under the grill with some sliced tomatos

Yum!!

Gammon joint is unbelieveable in a slow cooker. Soak the gammon in water before hand as it takes some of the salt out, then just pop into the slow cooker for as long as possible. I do mine for about 4 hours on high, or 5 hours on medium or 6 hours on slow.

It just falls to pieces, yum!

Braised steak or braised lamb neck fillets are fabulous

Coat the meat in a little season flour (don't even bother dicing it), brown the meat then put it into the bottom of the slow cooker. Saute some sliced carrots and onions for a bit, put them on top of the meat, sprinkle with mixed herbs salt and pepper, make up some gravy and pour it into the cooker (make sure the veg is covered) and cook. If you want to cook potatoes with it just add sliced potatoes making sure they're covered in gravy.

I've got a nice lamb shank recipe and a spicy lamp stew recipe if you're interested, more complicated so I'll only bother posting them if anyone wants them.
