In my quest to cook more home cooked meals from scratch. I also want to use my slow cooker a lot more than I do. If I am honest the only meal I usually cook in my is my slow cooked beef. This week I cooked Easy Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon.
I know it is another beef recipe, this is total coincidence and not intentional. Next week I am looking at a chicken recipe.
Although this is another easy recipe, if you have a busy household in the mornings. It may be best for a weekend meal.
This was a huge hit and there was some left over which I have frozen for another day.
What slow cooker meals would you like me to try next?
