Everyone in our house loves gammon – even our fussy, youngest child (it’s actually one of his favorite meals). But cooking the same meat every week can get a little monotonous, even if we do love it. For that reason, I’ve tried out lots of different slow cooker gammon recipes and we’ve discovered some absolutely delicious recipes! I’m sharing 32 tried and tested slow cooker gammon recipes – they are all absolutely delicious and I’m confident that there is something here to suit every taste!

Cooking in the slow cooker can be an absolute game changer, particularly during the week when we’re all a little busy and don’t have the time or the motivation to start cooking when we get home. Ours is so well used that the letters on the dial have almost completely rubbed off now. We use it for all kinds of meals including beef, pulled pork and sausages. Cooking meat slowly over a few hours means it’s moutwateringly soft when the time comes to serve it up.
