Slow Cooker Campfire Stew

This tasty cowboy inspired campfire stew is a new family favourite.  The smoked paprika adds a delicious barbecue flavour. Use unsmoked gammon as the smoked variety will make the dish too salty. 

Ingredients

1 small unsmoked gammon joint all fat removed cubed
1 onion diced
two peppers diced
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
2 tins of baked beans
6 tablespoons of tomato puree
1 small red chilli finely chopped

Method


Put garlic, peppers, onions, in a saucepan and cook in a little oil until softened.
Add finely chopped chilli, tomato puree, baked beans and smoked paprika.
Add the gammon
Bring to a simmer.
Add to slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours.
Remove the gammon and shred. 

Return to the slow cooker and stir.
Serve with rice and tortilla chips or jacket potatoes and vegetables.



Let me know if you try it and what you think of the recipe.

    1. You can buy a really good one for under £30 these days. Perfect for Winter stews, soups and all manner of dishes. You can even make fudge and cook cakes in it.
