Slow Cooker Casseroles – So Easy
Now that we 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. So convenient when you are busy out and about or at work. If you need a digital slow cooker (affiliate link), this one is a great option.
Pork and Apple Casserole

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!
