Help me turn this into 3 seperate meals please.

Hi there...in my slow cooker i have 800gms of lean steak mince,2 chopped onion,2 oxo cubes,lazy garlic and a can of chopped tomatoes.
Today i would like to make a kind of keema curry thingy with rice,
Then bolognese with pasta for tomorrow,
then a 3rd of either for freezing.

But how do i make them all seperate?..I dont want herbs in my curry or spices in my bolognese....do i cook all this as it is in the slow cooker(be ready around 5pm;),and then do i have to cook the other sauces seperately?...will it be OK just to fry off some garam masala,curry spices etc in a pan then add that to the portion for keema..same with bolognese?//?....Sorry if im missing the obvious,but i dont want everything to end up tasting the same...thanks again.x

    I usually double cook mince, take half out and add oregano for bolognaise and chilli powder for chilli to the other half so what you said sounds about right :)

    cook in slow cooker then when its cooked remove and divide into 3. Put one of the portions into a pan and add a jar of curry sauce or the appropriate spices.
    With the second portion,either tonight or tomorrow,add a can of red kidney beans and appropriate herbs.
    Freeze the third portion as it is then when you come to use it you can dcide to have it as it is or with added herbs/spices/lentils/whatever.
