I've put two packs of diced lean steak in my slow croc-pot with a little garlic, carrots, onions, herbs, red wine and stock and just going to let it cook. I've also peeled a big saucepanful of potatoes. It's handy when it's cold outside and people are coming in a different times to eat.
I was going to have bacon, roasted tomatoes and potato dauphinois (but Asda substituted the potato stuff with meatballs in tomato sauce (yuck)) so now I am not too sure.
