A few nice slow cooker images I found:

Tonight’s Cook: Mark

Recipe Source: Slow Cooker Book

Results: Needed some extra flour mixture and milk. Leftovers were much better than the day of. Nice traditional dish. I guess I was fortunate that I got sick, and we had soup around already.

Yes, it’s on. He’s sitting on his favourite padded envelope, which also has Anjum Anand’s book on top of it (I used a recipe for the basis of the lamb and lentils that’s in the slow cooker).

Chicken & Black Beans in the Slow Cooker


Image by sweet mustache
3 to 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 20 oz)
16 oz corn (canned or frozen)
1 can (15 oz) black beans
2 tsps ground cumin
2 tsps chili powder
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut in strips
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

Mix everything together and cook in a slow cooker on low for 4 to 5 hours.

Garnish with shreddedcheese, if desired. Will probably need some salt as well.

I used 1.5 tsps of ground chiles and 1/2 tsp garlic powder instead of chili powder.

It was pretty good, but could have been spicier. But nothing a little hot sauce can’t fix.

Much better the next day. The dried chile I used leant an unexpected smokey flavor. The heat also went up a bit the second day.
