Is it ok not to brown meat first? (slow cooker)

[Kazbah]

I sometimes do, but that's only if I can really be bothered. It rarely happens, and the food always comes out good.

I also freeze ingredients for a SC meal (eg for the sausage casserole recipe I cut up the onions, raw sausages, add in the herbs / spices, tinned tomatoes etc) and freeze that in a container - I just then in the morning throw the whole thing into the SC and put it on low, it's all cooked when I get home that night.
