Hi molly the problem is if you don't fry the onions first, due to the low cooking temperatures, they won't soften.
Back in the UK when I was working and bringing up my 2 boys on my own I used the slow cooker a lot so that there was a meal ready when I got in from work.
I used to batch fry a big load of onions then freeze them in small bags for use in slow cooker recipes.
I rarely pre-fried the meat even if the recipe said so. It makes little difference to taste just the appearance but if you make the sauce thick enough it doesn't show. :D

Rabbit stew cooked with prunes is good in the slow cooker as a winter dish. I don't have the recipe though, sorry. I just used to make it up as I went along. :D

I never brown the meat or fry the onions, but I've always just made it up as I went along. I usually cook pork or beef in gravy with onions or a tin of tomatoes, garlic and herbs. Never had a problem with hard veggies. They are so easy and I use mine more in the summer because it gives off less heat than the cooker - husband won't eat salad every day!
