    I love a meal that’s simple to prepare and it doesn’t get much easier than this family friendly Slow Cooked Beef Casserole!

    Family Friendly Slow Cooked Beef Casserole

    I’ve been using our slow cooker quite a lot lately as I just love the convenience of having dinner ready for us after a long (and chaotic!) day.  This Slow Cooked Beef Casserole is a favourite of ours and I usually serve it with some steamed rice and a buttered bread roll to soak up all of the extra sauce with – yum!

    Family Friendly Slow Cooked Beef Casserole

    I usually use celery, carrots, onion and peas when making this recipe, however I’ve also made it with sweet potato, beans and cauliflower with great results.  You can also alter the amount of gravy beef that you use, if you are feeding a crowd you can add some more, alternatively you can also make an extra big batch to pop half into the freezer for an easy meal on another day. Also if you do have any leftovers, they are just awesome to enjoy the next day when the sauce and flavour has seeped right through the rice, I may have also been known to use some leftovers as a jaffle filling – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
