Just finished a bolognaise for the freezer and washed it ready for another meal, I'm thinking of chilli again for the freezer.

I use my large slow cooker to cook once & eat twice or 3 times, I also make Shepherds pie & Bolognese & divide it into meals for the freezer.Saving gas & time.

me too i also try to make sure i dont have to wash it as much.... i mean soak my black eye peas over night rinse out while 10 min boiling cook them all day, rinse and soak something else(i do not like washing my crockpot )

In my brand new shiny slow cooker. Thanks to those who advised me on which replacement to get.

I am just finishing some soup for lunches, then it's going on again to do some chicken curry.

Wish it was close enough to pick up.

Wow, first time ever someone has posted something good that is local to me. Shame I've just bought a new slow cooker.

True LoLo but what price will it go up to with eight days before the sale closes?

Debating if I should do this in the slow cooker or fry and what can I do with it? What do you think? Any ideas anyone?

Bacon bits, chopped onion and sliced potato(the last item is some boiled potatoes from my meal yesterday...)

Hiya, any eggs? Tortilla, bit of salad with it?

Thanks Tilly,
I suppose I could consider an omlette? Now you have mentioned eggs...it's funny sometimes you really do need someone to suggest a meal idea.

I'll look Tortilla's up...I may be alone and have a limited budget but I still try to have a variety of foods...and keep an interest in cooking as I have always had.

Popperwell, you said earlier you had belly pork in your slow cooker.

I have some belly pork in the freezer and wondered what it would be like in the slow cooker as I usually do mine in the over, for about three hours because I like the fat to be crispy.

Can you let me know, how it turns out and how you did it please.
