This morning I'm cooking a brisket the same way as last week however I'm adding a few extra ingredients to make my awesome chili, so this is my regular recipe which I'll adjust for the slow cooker...
1Kg Mince beef (or 1/2 beef, 1/2 pork) obviously I'm using the brisket instead
1 large onion chopped
3 garlic cloves choped
2 tbslp vegetable/rapeseed oil (not need in the slow cooker obviously)
3 chopped chillis (I'm using jalapenos which Sainsburys are selling fresh now, not them in jars)
1 tbsp chipotle chili paste
500ml passata
500ml beef stock
1 can Budweiser
4 tsp chili powder (or as much or little as you like)
2 tsp ground cumin (I use toasted cumin seeds bashed down to a powder when I can be @rsed)
1/2 tsp mustard powder (as above with mustard seeds)
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 pinch oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander (again I use seeds sometimes)
a good glug of Louisiana hot sauce or that Cholula mexican hot sauce
1 tsp flour
1 tsp cornflour
Salt and pepper to taste
Fry off the onions until soft, add garlic and chilis for another 3 minutes.
Add the beef and fry until browned (don't fry the beef off first it doesn't taste the same). Add everything else and simmer for a couple of hours. Remove the lid and let it thicken for an hour or so.
I'm thinking in the slow cooker I'll sieve everything and reduce the juices once it's cooked, then put it all back in the pan

Ours came out to play yesterday...
Relatively simple pair of NZ lamb half shoulders in a cheap 'n cheerful red wine...
Enjoyed!
Did this today. I used leg of lamb and added rosemary and garlic for the last two hours. I put the lamb in a hot oven for 20 mins before serving because my wife likes a more crusty outer edge on her lamb. I reduced the liquor and served as a sauce with the meal.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Leg of lamb (1/2 price at Asda atmo) raised on 3 scrunched up balls of cooking foil to let the fat drip off it. I didn't put any liquid in the cooker. After 6 hours on low heat I added a medium sized bulb of crushed garlic and a couple of tablespoons of Rosemary to the liquor at the bottom of the cooker.
2 more hours in the slow cooker and then 30 mins at gas mark 6 to crisp the outer edge. Absolutely delicious and only 3 ingredients.

I have done the ham in coke already but decided to try it with cider for a change and then glaze it.
Ham about £8 sized chunk
Morrisons own brand cider x 2 pints
half dozen cloves
Slow cooker at low for about 8 hours
Remove from slow cooker and put on oven tray
Mix 2 spoons of olive oil, mustard and honey and brush over the ham
Stick in the oven for about 90 mins at 160ish
The nicest bit of ham ever!
