Slow Cooker Dinners
Here's a meal plan I've made if you fancy some slow cooked dinners. You can add these to your plans and customise if you want to change the days or swap some recipes!
Slow Cooker Red Thai Prawn Noodles
This slow cooker prawn noodles recipe is from page 120 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. Imagine coming home after a long day to the comforting aroma of a delicious Thai-inspired meal simmering away in your slow cooker. This recipe combines the rich and fragrant flavours of Thai red curry paste with the creamy smoothness of coconut milk. Creating a delightful blend that tantalizes your taste buds. The addition of kaffir lime leaves and dried red chillies infuses the dish with an authentic and zesty kick. While the tender prawns and crisp vegetables provide a satisfying and nutritious bite.

Slow Cooker Hot Pot
So you can find this Veggie Lancashire Hot Pot recipe on page 80 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. Even though this dish is meat free, this slow cooker hot pot recipe still has that delicious slow-cooked flavour we all know and love. The Worcestershire sauce just gives it that little added kick. But if you’re vegetarian or vegan, Henderson’s Relish is a perfect alternative. But you will definitely want some crusty bread to soak up all the flavours on your plate, too. I guarantee you won’t want to let any go to waste.

Slow Cooker Cowgirl Stew
This slow cooker cowgirl stew recipe is from page 76 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. What I love about this recipe is that it is so very versatile and easy to customise. You also do not need to add the hot dogs; instead you could leave them out and just have this as a classic bean stew. I like to serve my stew with a crusty baguette, but it is also great on a jacket potato. It’s a classic winter warmer that the whole family will enjoy. As the weather gets cooler, nothing beats a comforting bowl of stew for dinner to fill your belly and warm you up. And using the slow cooker makes preparing this hearty stew even easier. My son is not a big fan of kidney beans, so when I am cooking it for him, I simply leave them out and double up on the baked beans. But this is what I love about cooking: mixing things up to suit different tastes. My recipes are just a guide so feel free to customise them to your tastes!

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Curry
You can find this slow cooker sweet potato, butternut squash and spinach curry recipe on page 73 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. And this is such a perfect meat free recipe that the whole family will enjoy. But all you need to do is pop your ingredients into the slow cooker and let the flavours do all the hard work for you! Then serve your slow cooker potato curry with basmati rice and tasty naan bread to soak up the incredible spicy sauce. But this is such a delicious, warming curry for the colder months. So the dish is packed with fragrant turmeric, cumin and garam masala for a punch of flavour. Not only is it simple and tasty but it is healthy too!
