The best thing about having a slow cooker, is throwing everything in, turning it on and forgetting about it for HOURS. Then before you know it you have a delicious meal and you practically did nothing.
Having a slow cooker in your cupboard, is a seriously smart move.
If you don’t have a slow cooker you can simply use a large stock pot and cook on a low heat.

SUPER SIMPLE
This is a HUGE recipe – it makes a lot. Once it has cooled down you can freeze it in batches and use with spaghetti or when you’re making lasagne!
You can also use this as pie filling, or add a bit of chilli and have it as a taco filler. Or even for nachos.
It’s very versatile!
