Slow Cooker Beef Casserole

While I made this Beef Casserole in the slow cooker, you could easily follow the steps and cook it in the oven for two of hours at around 160 degrees Celsius. It is a great basic casserole, that you can add and vary depending on what your preferred veg are and what you have in the house you might like to use up.

I used the Rich Beef Casserole recipe from Sally Wise’s Slow Cooker cook book as a base for this recipe.
