How about a complete meal cooked in your slow-cooker ? Not mixed, each on it’s own, with no flavors mixed – including “baked potatoes” !
This is the first time I’ve tried anything close to this Layered Slow-Cooker Dinner and I had no idea what to expect. Disappointed I was not – definitely not!
I think this might even be my new method of cooking. Especially when I do not feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen, which does happen quite a lot during Summer.
However, I am sure I am not the only one who hates being in the kitchen during Summer !

On the menu we had :
- Hong Kong Chicken
- Baked Potatoes (served with Sour Cream and Spring Onions)
- Sweet Honey Carrots
- Basil Green Beans
I opened the top packages a little halfway through and gave the veggies a little stir using a spoon – so as not to tear the aluminum foil.

The Potatoes were cooked soft, but still firm.
Delicious combination ! Only one thing, the **Green Beans** were cooked too long, you might want to add them halfway through and not at the beginning.
