Slow-cooker beef and peas recipe (nutritious + easy)

by 46 Comments

I have never considered myself a cook before. I just wasn’t that girl. And I was always saying I’ll get married to a man who’ll do it for me.

There is a friend of mine (childhood friend) who always knew the answers to “food questions”. She was baking and caking and she enjoyed it when we were very young! She was making lunches and dinners, and she was using “the secrets”. When she told me to always do “the mixed egg whites” part at the end of caking because if not, the cake will be ruined, I was confused. I was never the one thinking about those little details… Even though she knew that much, bragging wasn’t a thing for her. Ana was kindly passing her knowledge to anyone ready to listen, and she was always very encouraging.

Five years ago, I wanted to make pancakes for my sister. And since I don’t like recipes, I decided to do it on my own. My brilliant idea (I mean, it seemed brilliant and crazy cool) was to put the pudding into the mixture. Of course, the whole mixture was doomed. Three years after that happened, I made pancakes again (I did it for my husband). There were pancakes on the table, but that just weren’t pancakes that left tummies satisfied. Nowadays, I proudly say: I make pretty delicious pancakes (ask anyone)!

And there is this another thing about me now when I am a busy mom and wife: my best cooking buddy is my slow-cooker. Mostly, I use it for lunches (because I have no time for lunches). I’m preparing it at night and we eat it tomorrow at 2.30pm. Here is my beef and peas recipe.

    Aren’t slow cookers the next best thing since sliced bread. lol Love the ideas you have presented because I am not much of a cook myself and just want to find these to cook that are easy and delicious.

    Haha I always said the same that I was looking for someone who would cook for me as I am not much of a cook myself but I am glad that you have found a recipe that is easy to make. I am a vegetarian but I like the idea of making slow cooked quorn mince!

    This is something my family would make, there was also cubed potatoes, olives, raisins and it would be served with rice. It was SOOO good and your pictures gave me the cravings.

  36. Amber Stanfield says

    I love slow cooker dinners! I can put them on before leaving to work, and feel assured that if I have to work late, my hubby will be able to manage! This looks so hearty and tasty! I’m going to save this recipe.

    I LOVE slow cooker recipes. I have so much motivation in the morning and afternoon to cook, but none in the evening so using these types of recipes are the best. Thank you! Can’t wait to try.

  42. Sela says

    This looks really yummy. I use the slow cooker a lot because it is easy for me because I don’t consider myself a cook either. I will be trying this real soon because it looks so easy and delicious!
