I've never had a slow cooker before, but have finally decided to take the plunge and purchase one (a 6L one at that!).
The 1st meal I cooked with it was a true DISASTER...but I'm not going to let that stop me! So, onto todays adventures :)
I started with this recepie as a base and then changed a few things...
Here is my version of Spaghetti and Meatballs
MEATBALLS
600g beef mince
1 cup cornflake crumbs (add extra if you need too)
Fresh Thyme
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small brown oninon (finely chopped)
2 eggs
SAUCE
1 jar leggo's bolognese pasta sauce
1 x 400g tin crushed tomatoes
large squirt of tomato sauce
2 small - med carrots (diced)
1 med - large zuccini (diced)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mix the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl
2. Roll the meatballs (makes 14 - on the large side)
3. Brown the meatballs in a frypan
4. In the slow cooker, mix the sauce ingredients and add the meatballs (ensure they are covered with sauce).
5. Cook on LOW for 8 hours (stir once or twice during cook - you probably don't have too, but I did :D )
Serve with cooked pasta
So here is what I thought about this meal:
Will I cook it again?
YES - it was YUMMY :)
Did the kids eat it?
The LOVED it :)
What do I score it?
I scored this one 5 yummies out of 5 :)
Did I add or subtract anything from the recipe?
See above recepie :)
Would I add or subtract anything from the recipe next time?
Nope I would do it exactly the same :)
What recipes will be coming up soon?
(Not in any order - I just want to make them coz they look yum!)
