    This slow cooker beef curry is absolutely packed full of flavour. It's an easy healthy recipe that makes the meat so tender it will melt in your mouth!

    Folks, if you're short on time this healthy slow cooker beef curry is the perfect recipe!

    It just takes 15 minutes to prep the ingredients.

    Then just add them all to your slow cooker and you're good to do your own thing for the next 6 - 8 hours.

    I've used my blender to minimise the use of any cooking oil needed to break down the ingredients to produce the sauce too.

    That's what makes this curry healthier compared to a restaurant beef curry!

    I've adapted this recipe from my original beef curry casserole recipe.

    So if you don't have a slow cooker, no worries just hop on over to that recipe.

    There's so many advantages to having a slow cooker.

    Not just the fact you'll get some of your own valuable time back by not spending it all day in the kitchen!

    A slow cooker slowly brings out the flavour in the food it's cooking.

    Cooking the meat slowly helps to tenderise less-expensive cuts of meat too. Saving you money in your weekly budget.

    I couldn't be without my slow cooker now. In fact I often take it away with me when my other half and I are on hillwalking holidays in Scotland!

      This beef curry sounds amazing, Neil! It's cold here right now, and I drove home from the curling club last night in a sleeting/snowing mess of weather. I bring that up to say that I really need some easy comfort food! I love the slow cooker for meals like this, and we have a couple beef roasts in the freezer right now. I know how I'm going to use one of 'em now! Hope you and Lynne have a great weekend ahead!

        Oh yes David, this recipe is perfect for cold winter weather. Next time before you go out curling you could prepare this earlier on and have it ready to heat you up as soon as you come home! Hope you guys have an amazing weekend too. And stay warm! 😉

      This is wonderful. I love all curries, but there's something extra special with lamb or beef curries I think They just suit the meat I think! Love your spices.

        Thank you Shashi! I know you love your curries so I'm really glad you like this one and it has the affect I hoped it would!

        Yes we love taking our slow cooker away with us. Sometimes there aren't any restaurants near by so its the only choice we have to use it. 🙂

      While I cannot say I'm a huge curry fan (From those versions I've tried, I probably only liked vegetable and chicken-coconut milk curry), I must acknowledge this dish looks and sounds appealing. Also, it perfectly suits the current situation outside:) I should consider making some beef curry, probably with an addition of eggplant.

        Thanks Ben. And I've got your wish for a curry with eggplant (or aubergine as we call it) covered. I've just done the photographs for it so it'll be published in the next couple of months. 🙂
