This one is not particularly unusual but it is fairly easy with a nice result. We have to cook for 6 and as I work from home and the current Mrs H doesn't, I often get lumbered so this beef pie is just the job. I get a beef topside joint from Aldi which at about £6 for a kilo joint is only pennies more than chicken and also buy a roll of puff or short pastry. I dice the beef and dump in a bowl of flour, salt and pepper, then fry in oil in a pan to seal. I dump it into the slow cooker. I then fry some onions in what is left in the pan and chuck those in too (sounding like Jamie Oliver now). Last, I put in about 750ml of boiling water mixed with a couple of stock cubes and a splash of Worcester sauce. Put the cooker on (this is usually at lunchtime) and let it do its thing until I finish at 5pm. I then put the meat and some of the gravy in a dish and bung the pastry on top - usually a perfect fit in my oblong dish, brush the pastry with beaten egg and put it in the oven until brown. Delicious with a few bits of veg to go with it.

Not that much work but when placed proudly on the table I then get greeted by "not this again". ;-)

Sounds good Frankie.....Ignore them wots causing trouble. Oh by the way, have you tried that new Guiness sauce, I like that in beef stew.

SheilaO
One of the very best recipes I find for the slow cooker is "Oxtail stew or oxtail soup" and its absolutely delicacies ,too long to write it all down but do most of the prep the night before leave it on all night the longer the better. look it up on the internet.
Its a very old fashioned meal
The oxtail cost's £6. to £8.00s I keep mine on about 12 hours

A turkey drumstick falls apart done all day in slow cooker with any veg you have. I add a chicken and lamb stock cube plus a dollop of homemade chutney. Half hour before eating add homemade dumplings if feeding more than two people.
