Slow Cooker Slimming World Campfire Stew Recipe

I have been trying out some slimming world friendly meals in a bid to eat healthier after having my son a few months ago. I recently made a slow cooker Campfire stew which was simple to make and ideal for a hearty winter meal for the whole family to enjoy. 

You will need

• One gammon Joint

• Two tins of baked beans

• Two white onions

• Two cloves of garlic (crushed)

• One red pepper

• Three potatoes

• A few sliced mushrooms

• One tin/packet chopped tomatoes

• Two teaspoons of tomatoes puree

• One or two teaspoons of mild chilli powder

• One or two teaspoons of mixed herbs

To make

I placed the uncooked  gammon joint in the middle of the slow cooker, I then added the beans, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree around the gammon joint. I peeled and diced all my vegetables into small chunks and added them to the slow cooker with the crushed garlic and herbs. Then I give it a stir and cooked on low for 6-8 hours.  I shredded the gammon with a fork and it just fell apart when it was ready to serve. 

To Serve

We had the campfire stew with basmati rice and it was nice but I think it would have been even nicer served with tortilla chips as a nacho topping or on a jacket potato.  

This was a really quick and simple meal to prepare and it was really tasty with a nice smoky taste, it did not taste at all like 'diet' food as it was really filling.

 If you have any slow cooker recipes then please let me know as I am on the lookout for more things to make. 

Please note I just made this recipe myself at home for my family, I am not a chef. Ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. Please ensure food is cooked fully before consuming as timings are an estimate.
