Slow cooker Recipes for Weight Loss

by Kate Save on Jun 29, 2023

Tips for using a slow cooker:  

A slow cooker can be an essential tool in the kitchen, especially on those winter nights when you arrive home and the last thing you want to do I cook and clean up! It’s worthwhile investing in a slow cooker for those one-pot wonders! It is as simple as preparing all the ingredients, add them to the slow cooker and let simmer for several hours and done! The appliance itself is a heatproof ceramic pot inserted into a metal outer casing. Low, even heat from the side allows for a simmer which creates tender, delish meals such as stews, soups, curries and casseroles.  

Recipes:  

Moroccan Beef Casserole (8 servings) 

Ingredients:  

Serving suggestions:  

Method: 

Step 1 - Place oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook one-third of the beef, turning, for 3 mins or until browned all over. Transfer to the bowl of a 20-cup (5L) capacity slow cooker. Repeat with remaining beef.  

Step 2 - Add the onion, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, tomato, stock, and sweet potato to the beef in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6 hours, or until beef is tender.  

Step 3 - Spoon the beef mixture into serving bowls. Sprinkle with fetta, almonds and coriander and sliced lime wedge, add steamed broccoli for added fibre, vitamins and minerals
