OK, so I know this is a bit of a "mumsnet" post, so please forgive me!

I am really not a cook, but am learning and really enjoying it - I can do all sorts of soups now, can manage a simple roast chicken dinner and have mastered chili-con-carne but that's about it!

I bought a slow cooker, and wondered if anyone had any favourite simple but hearty recipes? Also, I try to be fairly healthy so I am keen on simple, fresh ingredients and nothing processed. Also want to try and avoid adding sugar / fat wherever possible, but I am not completely averse to using, say, sausages for example but wouldnt want to add cream / sugar / lard / whatever.

I have looked on google, but I am looking for personal recommendations and any TZUK clever tips and tricks.

Please assume I know nothing! (I havent even unpacked the slow cooker since I bought it a month ago!)

I have heard that sausage casserole is easy, so I bought some sausages and a Schwartz powder packet thing, but where to start?!



Thanks!
