How do you adapt a casserole recipe to cook in a slow cooker?

Hi there

I have a recipe for beef in red wine which I have cooked before on the stovetop then oven, but I want to cook it in my slow cooker so I can get it on the go now and leave it and it will be ready for dinner later. It has a lot of liquid in it though and I know that it will still have way too much fluid in when it is finished. How much fluid should you have as a maximum usually in a slow cooker recipe? Thanks.

My wife is the Queen Mother of the slow cooker. according to her, you can slow your item overnight on medium heat. after all the ingredients are in the cooker, you can fill with liquid to ¾ths to the top of the cooker itself.

She swears by her cooker and we have one and two backups. according to her, a slow cooker is her best friend in the kitchen(other than me). let me know how it turns out, ok?

Slow cookers/crock pots do not require any recipes to be useful. You simply put the food in, set the timer, and then eat. The recipes can be suggestion of the food you might want to put in, but that is all.
