What is your go-to slow or pressure cooker meal that has under 5 ingredients?

Love that idea. Not sure why I never thought of making curry in the slow cooker! Do you used dried beans/legumes? Or canned/soaked?

made this dish just yesterday for my meat munchers with roasted pork leftovers, peppers and cumin/smoked paprika/rosemary/msg/espresso/sugar/garlic powder
if you use an instant pot you don't need to soak the beans just high pressure for an hour gets it done. I pop it into the oven for a couple hours to get the maillard reaction flavoring anyway though. a family favorite

Lentil soup is my favourite
- Lentils (any colour)
- Diced carrot
- Diced celery
- Diced onion
- Half a diced sweet potato

Stew or Roast
Pkt of either stew or roast seasoning (or brown gravy pkt if you're out of the other stuff)
Meat, cut up for stew or whole for roast
Potatoes, cut however you prefer
Baby carrots on top
That's it.
Slow cook on low all day or high for 4 hrs.
Use the juice to make gravy (add a little cornstarch or flour and bring to a boil)
Enjoy!

Corn and beans, 3 ingredients. 1 cup dried beans (around 50 cents), 1 can of TJ cut corn (89 cents), 1.5 cups water. Pressure cook the beans and water for 30 minutes. Release pressure or wait for it to drop by itself depending on how impatient you are. Stir in the corn.
Before you stirred in the corn, the just-cooked beans were boiling hot, but since the corn was at room temperature, the whole mix now is nice and warm but not scalding, so you can eat it right away. Nourishing, low sodium, vegan, tasty, cheap, hard to beat.

my favorite chicken recipe is literally just chicken thighs/drumsticks pressure cooked with soy sauce. no extra salt or seasoning, just some white rice and stir fried veggies.

wrote 21 days ago last edited bySometimes some pasta sauce if I have some. I had a bag of tomato powder a while back and used that, but it wasn't so great. A 6 oz can of tomato paste works pretty well except it feels stupid to open the little tiny can and spoon the paste out.

Beef, carrots, beef or chicken stock, three cups of water, spices (Chile peppers or hot sauce, pepper, rosemary).
You can also add additional ingredients like potatoes or celery if you have them.
Heat on low for 8 hours, or high for four. The texture will be better on 8. If you have the time, cook the beef ahead of time so that it has a nice seared look.
The meat should fall off the bone 8+ hours in a slow cooker.
