Slow Cooker Pork, Leek and Apple Casserole
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. This slow cooker pork, leek and apple casserole is just perfect and suits toddlers as well as older children as the meat becomes very tender.
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.
This casserole was so simple to make but tasted great and was a hit with the whole family. This was a definite bonus in my book! The delicious light stock base allows the flavours of the leek, apple and carrot to come through.
We served this dish with rice and garlic bread for an easy midweek meal, it would also be great with mash and green vegetables. Slow cooked meat is so tender which makes it popular with my whole family.
