This Catalan Beef Casserole recipe was adapted from a Lidl recipe I found on their site, it looked amazing. So I wanted to make it in my slow-cooker though and thought it would work. I am delighted it did, using a slow-cooker conversion chart you can convert a lot of recipes into slow-cooker recipes. We love Spanish Flavours and Spanish style food in this house so converting this recipe was a must for me.
Amazing Slow Cooker Catalan Beef Casserole – My Way!
So I decided as I am converting it to a slow-cooker recipe I will just make it my own way. Reading recipes is not my forte! I have a confession to make, I was always in trouble Home Ec. Because I was taught how to cook at an early age I would make a recipe how I was taught it, not from the book. My teacher would get so irritated but hey I know who’s got eaten after class!!
We had her food once on a Geography Feild trip – it was so bad teachers and pupils snuck in take-out to eat!! Being a teacher doesn’t make you a good cook.
So here is my version of Slow-cooker Catalan Beef Casserole

This looks as if it is a great slow cooker recipe. I would imagine that the wine gives it a nice depth of flavor.
