Not much to add really. I buy a stew pack that has all the onions, leeks, swede etc already chopped up. Then just get some stewing beef, brown it off in a frying pan then add it to the stew pack, add some butter beans and enough OXO beef stock to just cover it and cook away
It's better the day after it's cooked

We use it all the time when we are at work ........ Joints of meat, cheaper cuts like brisket become tender when cooked in there too.
Joints don't cook as well as in the oven BUT it's easy to use especially on work days. A good buy for sure

No special recipes needed, just follow the 3 golden rules.
1.Always heat up the cooker empty for about 15 mins before using.
2.Heat up the food you are about to put into it for the best results.
3.Don't add too much liquid, because the lid is in place all day, liquid builds up from condensation.
I've even cooked lamb shanks in mine to perfection.
Enjoy !

Liver and Sausage. :thud:
Good quality sausage (fried until well-coloured for flavour), pig's liver (fried with onions) then add thick bisto gravy with sliced carrot.

It's hard to suggest things, it's more of a general overview on how to cook lol.
For example,
Beef goes with red wine
Pork goes with apples, mustard, bacon
Lamb goes two ways - mint, herbs etc, or the beef way.
All usual stew veg such as turnip, carrot, potato, butternut squash, sweet potato, celery, mushrooms, parsnip etc etc, use what you think you like, and what you think goes. Try them all til you find things you like
Add it all in, bay leaves are good for flavour, taste it to check seasoning. You'll soon get the hang of it.

Brown some sausages in oil in a pan, then chuck in some onions, carrots, mushrooms, leeks, courgettes etc. Stir in a few tablespoons of flour to absorb the oil, add half a litre of beef stock, and bring to the boil. Stir in a few tablespoons of chutney and worcestershire sauce and season. Then chuck it all in the slow cooker for 5-8hrs. Serve with mashed potatoes, luverly jubbly! 
In fact, this thread has just inspired me to go and try a spag bol in the slow cooker for tonight. Better than watching the skanks on the Jeremy Kyle show anyway!

What's with the 'colmans beef casserole mixture', I can't think of anything worse than pre-prepared seasoning mix full of artificial crap and gunk.
Why not just season it yourself and use beer in place of water. By beer I mean real beer rather than a bottle of your stella.

lamb neck fillet cooked like that would be delicious.
Stock made from celery,carrots,shallots,garlic,lamb neck ( with bone). I made some of this the other week for a hot pot, very nice, as soon as the meat off the neck cuts can be separated put to one side to go in the stew.
Lamb fillet
baby salad spuds/ or similar waxy spud.
baby carrots.
frozen peas ( I prefer these in stews )
Chopped onion
rosemary etc..
and some dumplings
