I love using my slow cooker through the cooler months. Despite the Gold Coast still being quite warm I have got my slow cooker out from the bottom of the pantry and have started using it, as its just so handy to put on dinner at lunchtime and have it ready when you get home.
I serve this Quick Slow Cooker Beef Casserole with mashed potato. Sometimes I may use left over mashed potato from the night before, or quickly make it up just after we get home.
This really is a quick and easy meal with only 5 ingredients!

Beef Curry in our slow cooker tonight. It smells yummy!
Just got a Slowcooker for Mother’s Day….am I right in understanding that there is no real liquid in this recipe?
No I didn’t use any liquid I found that after an hour or so juices appeared which then helped to cook the meat.
Yes don’t ever be tempted to add liquid if the recipe doesn’t have any listed. Slow cooking produces a lot of liquid and juices from the meat. I have been caught out doing this before. ?
I am trying this today – will let you know how it goes !!!
I am trying this as we speak so will let you know tonight also…
How many litres is your slow cooker, Kat?
Ange, I’m not sure off the top of my head but it is a big banquet size one.
I am really not a fan of tin tomatoes/paste but find it’s in all slow cooker recipes. is there anything i can substitute with?
I made this for tea last night. To find a meal ALL 5 of us enjoy is a real find & this one was no acception! Everyone loved it, even my MIL was impressed when she taste tested, even more so that its not a ‘packet mix’! Thankyou for this recipe, will definately be making it again. Thinking next time we will add mushrooms too. Has anyone tried this?
Made this tonight, what a fabulous easy meal and so delicious. I used french mustard, beautiful flavours. Thank you Katrina for your fabulous website.
Could you please tell me what cut of beef you use in the slow cooker beef casserole recipe?
Thanks
Hi Ali, I use the precut diced beef from the supermarket.
What type of mustard did you use?
I used wholegrain mustard as this is all I had in the fridge, however you can use Dijon if you prefer.
