Description
Ten easy slow cooker recipes for seniors cooking for one who want a proper meal without making enough for a crowd. Nine comforting dinners and one golden syrup pudding, with familiar ingredients, smaller portions and no need to brown the meat beforehand.
📖 For more comforting meals, my Complete Comfort Food Cookbook includes 450 recipes with quantities already worked out for 1, 2 and 4 people. Get your digital copy here:

1. Chicken Thighs with Potatoes, Carrots & Gravy
2. Beef & Pearl Barley Stew
3. Creamy Potatoes with Leeks & Cheddar
4. Sausage, Baked Bean & Tomato Casserole
5. Cannellini Beans with Tomatoes & Garlic
6. Pork Chop with Apple, Onion & Mustard

You’ll find quantities, cooking times and practical tips for making these recipes in smaller portions, including ways to freeze unused ingredients rather than throw them away. The cheddar goes in towards the end, and the sponge pudding cooks in a separate heatproof basin inside the slow cooker. Cooking times vary by appliance and portion size.
