There are some tasty looking SC meals there. I think I will do some to take to Monkey Mia in May. They would be handy for the Dream Pot too as long as they were fully defrosted.

Slow Cooked Baked Potato based on this recipe from theskinnypear.com/the-best-baked-potatoes-ever/

I placed 2 reasonable sized potatoes into my baby slow cooker so that I could work out how to place them and therefore where the cuts would be. One was OK on it's back but the other one had to be on it's side. If you have more people to serve then use your larger SC.

Wash potatoes if necessary, no need to peel.

Without cutting right through make 2 slices in the potato to give 3 equal sized pieces. Into each slice I placed a tsp cheddar butter (Pge 13 FFS, you could use any of the recipes on that page or just plain butter) and a small amount of Tenina's garlic paste.

Place in the SC, top with a large sliced onion, a tablespoon of plain butter and I crushed a large confit clove of garlic (another Tenina recipe, KIS) with a little of the oil it's stored in and mixed that through the onion.

Cook 4 hours on high.  I found I had to add a small amount of boiling water after 3 hours to prevent the potatoes sticking to the pot but that could have been because of the cheese in the butter.  Gave the onions a stir at this stage to ensure they all browned evenly.

This is the photo of the 1 leftover potato, it doesn't look as nice as when it was hot but it tastes delicious.

Hungarian Beef Goulash - 4 x 1 cup servings (180 calories per serve) from http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/hungarian_beef_goulash.html

450g chuck or round steak, 4cm cubes
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tbspn sweet paprika
S & P to taste
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
200g diced canned tomatoes
200g beef stock
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 small cloves garlic, crushed - I used confit of garlic
1 bay leaf
Cornflour to thicken
Chopped parsley to garnish

Place the cubed beef into the 1.5 litre SC bowl. 
Crush the caraway seeds in a mortar & pestle, add the paprika and S & P and sprinkle the mixture over the beef.  Toss well.
Top with onion and capsicum.
Pour over the tomatoes, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and garlic.  Mix well. 
Place the bay leaf on top and cook 7 - 7.5 hours on Low or 4 - 4.5 hours on High.  I cooked it overnight on low for 7.5 hours, removed the bay leaf, thickened it and cooked a further 15 minutes.

I thought there was too much sauce so I strained it through a sieve and only added back the amount of sauce I thought the dish needed.  I've frozen the rest, only a cup or so for when I need a quick sauce or a quick pasta dish.

Lovely recipe Judy, obviously my portions are way too large. Don't think one cup would fill me up.
