    Easy dish

    Now that my kids are back to school and after-school clubs have started back up, I am again relying on my slow cooker so we can come home after a busy afternoon to healthy, home-cooked meals which are steaming hot and ready to eat.

    It is great to be able to throw a few simple ingredients in and then forget about it until tea time.

    I love using a digital slow cooker which will cook for as long as I want then switch to the keep warm function and keep the food hot. So convenient when you are busy out and about or at work. No need to worry about burning if you  are running late! If you need a digital slow cooker (affiliate link), this one is a great option.

    Pork casserole

    This slow cooker pork casserole recipe is so simple to make but tastes great and is a hit with the whole family. This is a definite bonus in my book!

    The delicious light stock base allows the flavours of the leek, apple and carrot to come through. It’s a good way to used diced pork in your slow cooker, and the mild and sweet flavours of the leek and apple make this great for kids. 

    Diced pork is lean and tasty and cooks well in the slow cooker without getting tough. It makes a nice change from chicken and beef, I also like to make slow cooker sweet and sour pork as another slow cooker option with diced pork.

    Pork and apple is of course a classic combination used in many recipes, since they go so well together, so why change a winning formula!

    How to serve

    We sometimes serve this dish with rice and garlic bread for an easy midweek meal, it is also great with mash and green vegetables.

    The slow cooked pork is so tender which makes it popular with my whole family.

      This was awesome. Made it today. Threw a few different veg in as not a carrot fan, 2 leeks, 2 carrots, a small head of broccoli, tasted so good.

      Used pork medallions for this recipe and it still turned out very nice and tasty. Didn’t use creme fraiche. Served with home made mash potato. Delish.
