This recipe was very easy to make, but I wasn't thrilled with it. I made chicken with curry and I found it to be lacking in flavour. Other than the mild curry flavour, it was quite bland. The kids seemed to like it. My husband said it was better once he doused it in soya sauce... I would make it again, but it needs some other flavours.

I love this recipe. I found it was super simple and delicious. My family was hesitant when I said I was making curry and it was a hit with everyone.

Partner liked this recipe but I didn't. Found it really dry and other than the taste of the curry powder it didn't have much else going for it.

This is an ok recipe if you are on a budget or stuck for something to make but it really is not delicious. We eat home cooked curry often but this recipe was not very curry flavoured, just salsa disguised with a bit of curry flovour but you could tell it was salsa. I even added the whole tub of Cream cheese for the kids but it did not win in their books either. However it was an easy fast prep. I would not make this again there is much better curry in a slow cooker recipes out there.

I made the one with the chicken, and I didn't care for it at all. On the plus side, it smelled great all day while it was cooking. But that made having cereal for dinner kinda even more disappointing. Ah well.

The sausage version is a family favourite, probably the meal I make the most often in our slow cooker. Usually add a splash of worcestershire sauce to it, but that's the only change. The kids love it and it's just about the fastest and easiest recipe I have in my arsenal.

I tried the chicken version of this and it was not very good at all. I feel like there wasnt enough liquid added (only one little tin of chicken broth!), the chicken was dry, and the apple had all but disappeared. It smelled delcious but the flavour just wasnt there!

I made the italian sausager version and will make it again - it was full of flavour. Instead of crushed red pepper, I used a bit of hot sauce.

I made this easy dinner (the italian sausage version) and it was VERY good! I added a bit of extra steak sauce, and used a red & green pepper instead of just green. It was very good - the whole family enjoyed it! We will definitely be making it again, and will try the other variations too.
