Liver and Bacon

Bacon pieces, 2 onions, liver, salt, tomato ketchup, 1 pt beef stock.

Fry in a large pan the bacon and onions.
Toss the liver into some flour to coat and fry quickly to brown on both sides.
Season and add the tomato sauce, stock

Lid on and cook for 8 hours on low.

This dish serves 4 and cost about £2. I used whoopsee liver @ 99p and 1/2 pck of bacon off cuts @ 50p other ingreadients up to 50p.

I will cook some mashed potatoe and veg to go with this dish later.:)

If you have a little left over try the pate, strain the liquid off and put in a food processor with some room temperature butter and blend until smooth.
It`s lovely on toast.

What a brilliant idea! I can't wait to try that.

Beef stew in mine today and will put some bread on to go with it. Hoping there will be enough left for a couple of pies.:D

Excellent thanks, I may nip to the butchers, one of my pugs is on a raw food diet as she has Atopic dermatitis and can't have any grain, so would be soooo much cheaper than buying her a cut of meat daily, thanks for that.

Its all the off cuts and left over meats they cant sell to us to eat. From the smell of it when it cooks it is a rather strong offal smell rather than the fresher meatier smell of say beef mince.

I went into my local butchers today and he said as a rule he no longer sells it as theres not a lot of call for it these days but as i am a regular he will get some made up for me and freeze it so i can have it whenever i want and will charge me 40p lb so will be a lot cheaper than tinned food.


Today i made a mince cobbler, the base in sc and then finished in oven.

More dog food in mine tonight i should have enough to last over a week now. I`ve just turned the sc on now that the cheap rate electricity has kicked in. It saves me a fortune.

Heavens! I just read the post above asking about pet mince, and I thought you'd all been posting about cooking it for yourselves! I'm glad I read the rest of the page. I wouldn't have slept tonight.:rotfl:

Talking of pets, in my slow cooker today was..........


nothing I put in gammon & cider as someone had suggested & came home to find my dog had not only dragged the sc to the edge of my work top, but had mannaged to get the lid off too. The gammon was found half eated in his bed :eek:

Suffice to say I WILL NOT be cooking pet mince in mine!!
