Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be showing you some more
slow cooker dump bags. You guys seem to love the recipe that I put in my recent dinner
hacks video, so I thought I would show you some more and give you some more inspiration,
because this time of year is such a good time to be using your slow cooker to make nice,
healthy, warming dinners. So I have a few here to show you and I hope you really like
them. If you like this kind of content, don't forget to give it a big thumbs up and subscribe
if you're new. Without further ado, let's get into my recipes.
So the first recipe I'm going to share with you today is a delicious beef stew and I have
precut and prepped everything here so that it's quicker to show you. But that has obviously
taken some time. I personally think that when you're making
slow cooker dump bags, it works well if you double or triple a recipe, and that way you
can put them all in your freezer and then you can have beef stew once a week for three
weeks, say. These are also great if you are heavily pregnant and you're planning to have
some meals ready in your freezer for when the baby arrives, so I'm just going to put
all the ingredients together into this bowl. For the first time ever, I'm going to be using
a slow cooker liner, which so many of you guys recommended to me as a really mess free
way to use your slow cooker, but you don't have to put all of your ingredients into a
bag if you don't want to. This works just the same in Tupperware if you want to be completely
plastic free. So first off you'll need some stewing beef
and I bought it precut for ease. I'm just going to chuck that in. There's about 600
grams of this, but I will put all the details to the recipes in the description down below
if you want to find out all the measurements. Yes, I've chucked in some stewing beef, also
some salt. Then I'm going to add in some green beans, then I'm going to add in two chopped
up garlic cloves and chopped up carrots, some onion finely chopped, and some sweet corn
as well. Then I'm just going to crumble in a beef stock cube. I'm also going to add in
half a cup of apple juice and then I'm going to seal this bag up.
It's also a great idea to add a label if it's a recipe that you don't know very well. So
I'm just going to write on this beef stew. I'm also going to write when I made it, so
it's December and then I'm just going to say add one and a half cups of water and cook
on low for eight to 10 hours. I completely forgot to add a tablespoon of
Worcestershire sauce, so I will add that in now, but obviously add that when you make
it. Is it bad I'm sitting on the couch?
No.
I was so keen to eat this that I forgot to film, so this is it. We're having it with
mash tonight and it's so yummy. It's really nice.
Yummy, yummy.
How's the dining table?
Next up, I'm going to show you a delicious chicken noodle soup, which is such a good
one if you're suffering from cold and flu because it has lemon in it, also has ginger,
so great for fighting off the flu. So all you're going to need for this one is six chicken
thighs, which we've taken the fat off and chopped up. Put that in. Then I'm also going
to add in a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of fresh thyme. Also going to put in two bay
leaves, which you will remove once it's done, and then I've chopped up two carrots. I'm
also going to add in one large finely chopped onion, then I'm adding in two sticks of celery
that have been finely chopped, some ginger, garlic, and I'm just going to crumble in a
chicken stock cube. Finally, I'm going to add in a tablespoon of sesame oil.
So I've also just added on a label that says chicken soup, add six cups of water when you
cook it in slow cooker, and to cook on high for four hours. 30 minutes before it's done,
you also add in your noodles or your pasta. You can use anything you want, but I'm going
to use fusilli because it's Jackson's favorite. So I'm just going to throw in two big handfuls
of fusilli 30 minutes before it's finished. Then to serve, you add some fresh parsley
and some lemon as well. Hi guys. Tonight is chicken noodle soup night.
So I had it cooking in the slow cooker for about four hours and I added the six cups
of water to make it a soup. So I'll just show you how it's looking at the moment. This is
looking and smelling really, really good. But now it's 30 minutes to the end, so I'm
just going to add in my noodles or, in our case pasta. Going to add in two really big
handfuls and then let that cook for 30 minutes. Maybe a bit more, what do you think?
[inaudible 00:06:22].
Yeah, bud?
Look at [inaudible 00:06:26].
I've put more past in it than it called for, because I thought it would go further.
[inaudible 00:00:06:37].
Next up I've got a chicken and sweet potato curry. So in this one, again, we're using
chicken thighs. I've got a pack of eight here and the nice one about this recipe is you
don't have to chop them up. It will cook down. So throw them in, then I'm going to add in
a sweet potato, which has been chopped and peeled, teaspoon of salt, some cumin, and
some finely chopped garlic, some finely chopped ginger, and a tablespoon of sugar as well.
Chuck all that in and I'm going to add in three chopped up carrots, one large onion,
which has been finely chopped, and we're going to add in a tablespoon of fish sauce. It actually
called for two tablespoons, but I think that is quite fishy, so I'm just going to do the
one. Then I'm going to add in a big tablespoon
of Thai red curry paste. You can get these little pots, which are really handy, so I'm
just going to chuck that in. I'm going to crumble in some chicken stock. Then the recipe
calls for two tablespoons of peanut butter, but I'm using almond because one of my sons
has an allergy and this should taste just as good. Then I'm going to add in a can of
coconut milk. You can add this at this point or if you prefer, you can actually put it
into the slow cooker once you're ready to cook it. But I'm just going to put it in because
you can freeze it. So I wrote on it chicken curry, add two cups
of water when I cook it. You can either cook it on high for four hours or on low for six
hours. This is a huge bag. I think it's going to feed a lot of people.
Good morning. Today for dinner, we're going to have the chicken and sweet potato curry.
So last night when I went to bed, I got it out of the freezer and put it into our slow
cooker just to defrost overnight, but it's still a bit frosty. I'll show you. It has
defrosted down a little bit, but it is a little bit icy still, and I'm wondering if that is
why some are slow cooker recipes online say to add the coconut milk in when you actually
put it into the slow cooker. So maybe I will that next time because it does still need
a little bit more time to defrost, but this is only a four hour dinner, so I'm going to
leave it to defrost until lunchtime and then I'll turn it on so it should all be fine.
But I thought we'd just say that. So I've just cooked up the red Thai chicken
and sweet potato curry. I actually made it the other night but forgot to film. But I'm
having it again today for lunch. So I thought I would show you what it looks like. That
is also the beauty of making slow cooker meals because you can make a big batch and you can
have it for lunch. That's what I did with the chicken noodle soup and also the red Thai
curry. So this is what it looks like. This is it here and I'm serving it with white rice
today. It's not spicy at all. So I think children could eat this as well, but it's really, really
delicious. The sweet potato goes very soft and really, really yummy.
Hi guys. Today, I'm cooking a whole chicken in the slow cooker. So I thought I would add
this recipe onto the end of my dump bag video because it's such a good, easy one to have
up your sleeve. You can stick a whole chicken in the slow cooker and then use that in pasta's
or curries or just have roast chicken. It's such an easy one and I love to do this when
I don't really know what to do for dinner, and sometimes you can get two to three days
worth of chicken out of it for meals or sandwiches, stuff like that. So it's super simple to do.
I'm trying a new recipe out today, but often I will stick a whole chicken in, shove a lemon
in there and some garlic and a bit of white wine, and that is really nice. Or you can
actually get chickens in at the supermarket that have spices. You can get parsley ones
or lemon ones or you can get rotisserie chickens that you can then just stick in your slow
cooker. It's already spiced in everything. So that's
another really easy option. I'll show you what I'm doing today. So this is the chicken
here that I have today, but you can also get bigger chickens than this that will actually
fit in your slow cooker. This recipe calls to put a foil ring on the bottom so that it
doesn't sit in the juices. So I've done that, but I don't always do that. Then what I'm
putting on top of the chicken today is a tablespoon of brown sugar, some smoked paprika, salt,
pepper, and it also called for garlic powder, but I didn't have any, so I'm going to put
in some fresh garlic like this. I'm just going to stick the little garlic pieces into the
chicken's armpits and legs, so it's staying on the chicken and I'm going to put some inside
as well, just to make it nice and garlicky. Then you just have to rub this spice mix onto
the chicken and then cook it on high for about three to four hours.
Right, so this is the slow cooked chicken all done. I'm having the breast, and then
on the side I'm having some carrots, and then we do these potatoes in the oven with some
onion and some rocket, olive oil, salt and pepper. It's really yummy. So yes, we're going
to have that, and then we've actually got Matt's mom and dad round for dinner, so there's
enough for all of us and the kids as well. It's very yummy.
Right, so that's it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed the slow cooker dump bag
