    Beef strog
    Spag Bol
    Beef/red wine/garlic casserole
    Silverside (haven't tried it reheated though)
    Butter chicken
    Beef goulash

    I use the slow cooker packets too and find a lot of them do well reheated. Although I always do double the packets to ingredients listed so it's extra saucy and better when reheated

    A good one for kids (and adults!) is one of my childhood favourites...

    Porcupines (Recipe for stovetop but easy to adapt to slowcooker)

    420g can concentrated tomato soup
    500g beef mince
    1 brown onion, grated
    1/2 cup long-grain rice, rinsed
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
    mashed potato, to serve

    Place soup and 1 3/4 cups cold water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil.
    Meanwhile, combine mince, onion, rice, garlic and parsley in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Using 1 tablespoonful mixture at a time, roll mixture into balls.
    Add meatballs to boiling soup. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until rice tender and meatballs cooked through. Serve with mashed potato.

    Other ideas....
    Risotto
    Chilli (doesnt have to be too spicy for kidlets)
    Chow Mein (mince, curry powder, grated veg, pkt chicken noodle soup, rice, cabbage, garlic, soy sauce, beans, mushrooms, water)
    Pea and ham soup (bacon bones, yellow split peas, water, onion, curry powder to taste)
