Ok, i know that ‘dump bag’ does not exactly conjure images of tasty food but please bear with me. The concept of a slowccoker ‘dump bag’ is where you prepare all your ingredients for a meal in a freezer bag, freeze and defrost and dump it into the slowcooker when you want it. Sounds much more appealing now, eh? This really is a great batchcooking concept for busy people.

balsamic-beef

Ingredients

600g cubes of stewing beef

1 cup beef stock

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes

4 cloves garlic crushed

Method

  1. Put everything into a freezer bag and freeze for when you need it.
  2. Once defrosted, cook on slow for 8 hours.
  3. Remove beef from slowcooker and shred/pull apart with two forks.
  4. Pour the remaining juices in the slowcooker over the beef.

Serve with baked potatoes and steamed green beans. This is also lovely served in sandwiches with a large green salad.

Happy slowcooking,

This is an ideal dish for families and leftovers freeze really well.

Slowcooker chilli con carne

Ingredients: 

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion chopped

2 garlic cloves crushed

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

1 tablespoon of hot or mild chilli powder

500g lean mince beef

1 can of chopped tomatoes

1 red pepper cut into chunks

5 sun-dried tomatoes finely sliced

1 can red kidney beans drained and rinsed

1 beef stock cube

Method:

Heat olive oil in a large pan and fry the onions for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, chilli, cumin and oregano and cook for a further minute.

Add the mince to the pan, stir well until browned.

Tip the contents of the pan into your slowcooker and stir in the chopped tomatoes, peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and beans. Crumble in the stock cube, season well.

Cover and cook on low for 8 -10 hours or on high for 4- 5 hours.

I often make a double batch of this, i serve the first batch with rice, freeze the second batch and then serve it the following week with wraps, shredded iceberg, grated cheese, sour cream and guacamole to make delicious burrito-style wraps.

Enjoy,

Dublin Mummy x
