I don't have a slow cooker just yet (will get one eventually though), so at the moment I'm trying to find 'almost' fool proof tender meat recipes that I can do on the stove or oven (whether it be casseroles or anything else you could suggest). These recipes would be both for our 1 year old to eat as well as us (don't see the point in making 2 different meals, when he can eat everything we eat now).
You could probably use normal slow cooker recipes and just cook it on the stove in a big pot with a lid (might need to add a bit more liquid to it though). The best cuts for casseroles etc to get really tender meat are the cheaper cuts- like chuck steak, just don't trim too much of the fat off. Chicken drumsticks/wings are also nice when cooked in a sauce as the meat just falls off the bone, same with lamb shanks, although they are getting a little expensive these days (to think we used to just give them to the dogs!! Lol).
What about a minestrone-type soup with cubed meat in it?
