The kids are back to school and I need easy dinners to help settle us all back into a routine. My slow cooker gets used all year round but it’s probably used the most at this time of year. It’s easy, quick to prepare food and touch wood, the cooker is reliable too. It can make tasty meals that don’t cost a lot either. This is one of those dishes. We loved it and we hope you enjoyed it too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Slow Cooker Spicy ish Beef Stew was a tasty dish that, as I mentioned earlier, we all enjoyed. I made double of this dinner so that we could eat it on another occasion. All the ingredients in this dish are freezable so you can freeze it. It’s so nice to know that I have another meal in the freezer ready to go when I need it. However you decide to eat this dish, as always please enjoy. Thank you xxx
