5 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS | VEGETARIAN SLOW COOKER RECIPES | FAMILY MEALS | FALL AND WINTER RECIPES
We've been really enjoying our meals from the slow cooker lately. It makes my life as the family cook so much easier. All of these simple recipes are my own and they can all be frozen in a sealed container for up to three months.

150g white mushrooms, diced
300ml passata
250ml veg stock
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp marmite
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
Salt & Pepper to season
Prepare your vegetables and pop everything into the slow cooker for 8 hrs on low or 4 hours on high. Serve with spaghetti, as a pasta bake or in a lasagne.
Lentil Cottage Pie Filling ( [ Ссылка ] )
250g Green Lentils, rinsed
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
100g frozen peas
60g frozen spinach
750ml onion gravy made with granules
1 tsp veg bouillon or half a veg stock cube
2 tsp dried sage
pinch of ground cumin
Salt & Pepper to season
Prepare your vegetables and add everything to the slow cooker. Stir well and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or high for 2 hrs, then low for 2 hours.Boil some potatoes and mash. Add to the top of your filling once it's cooked and top with 50g grated cheddar. Pop into a preheated oven at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 for 30 mins until the cheese is bubbling. Check your slow cooker pop in oven proof first! Or transfer to a casserole dish and pop under a medium grill for 5 minutes.
I also use this filling for puff pastry pies and hot pot.
