Slow Cooker - Method?
Discussion
Hi there, i've just purchased a new shiny slow cooker from tesco, I fancy making a casserole in it and want to be able to leave it on for around 8 hours while I go out. I'm at a loss to how much I can pack in it, I want it to be able to serve around 5 or 6 people. it's a 6.5L slow cooker, the ingredients I want in there are
Bacon - Fried gently
Sausage / stewing beef - Sausage ideally, do these need to be pre cooked?
Onion - fried in same pan as bacon (& sausage/beef)
1 can of Guiness - used to deglaze the bacon/onion/sausage pan then put in the slow cooker
Stock - to cover meat if theres not enough with the guiness
Vegetables - mushroom not pre cooked
If I just load it up using the above method and heat it on low for around 8 hours am I going to come home to a black gunky stoge or a beautiful tasty steaming casserole?

I flour my stewing beef first then seal it in a pan before it goes in our cooker, One thing I tend to find is that i have too much liquid when its cooked which I am working on by reducing the level that I start with.
Your ingredients sound fine,. I just chuck stuff in and hope for the best and its never not been nice.
