This dish shows how versatile slow cooking can be. You can simply serve this casserole as is with plenty of mashed potatoes and vegetables. Or, serve as a cobbler, under a savoury scone topping, as pictured. Alternatively, serve with a mashed potato topping, browned off in the oven. You can leave the kidney out if you prefer and just increase the amount of beef, however kidney adds a nutritious flavour kick to this recipe.

Method
To Slow Cook Casserole
To Make Cobblers
1
Pre-warm the slow cooker on low while preparing the ingredients.
2
If wishing to brown the ingredients: Heat a good dash of oil in a frying pan and brown the steak and kidney mix, in small batches, over a high heat. Set aside.
3
Add extra oil to the pan and cook the onions until golden.
4
Stir 1 cup of stock or water into the pan and scrape the sediment off the base of the pan, as this adds lots of flavour.
5
Put the beef and kidneys, onions, mushrooms, gravy powder, stock or water, and pepper into the pre-warmed slow cooker.
6
Stir to mix and cover with the lid.
7
Cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
8
Oven Cooking Option - Cook, covered in an ovenproof casserole dish in a pre-heated 160C oven for two hours or until the meat is tender.
9
Variation - Add 1 tablespoon curry powder and ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce for a flavour twist.
