Morning, for all those trying to use up there runner beans, this is a lovely meal. Traditionally made in a Potjie Pot on an open fire (like a cauldron) but can also be made in a slow cooker.

Green Bean Potjie.
(this makes a lot but it is equally nice, if not better, heated up)
1kg minced beef
4 double handfuls of sliced green beans or as many as you like, the more the better!
4 chopped onions.
packet of bacon, chopped
2 handfuls of grated cheese (I don’t always bother with this)
1 cup light soy sauce (can use less)
Gravy granules
Quite a few peeled potatoes cut.
Pepper, salt isn’t needed as soy sauce is salty enough.

In a frying pan brown mince & bacon, add onions and brown. Put in slow cooker.
Place potatoes & green beans in layers on top of mince, add soy sauce, do not stir.
Switch slow cooker on to a long setting of over 6 hours.
When potatoes are done add some gravy granules mixed with ½ cup water, add grated cheese and pour into SC, cook for another hour or so. It’s difficult to judge how much bisto to use as it depends how much liquid there is in the pot but the rice soaks up any excess liquid.
Mix well before serving with rice and crusty bread.:)

It's okay TM....Only the thick cut are 5 packs...The normal ones are still 6 pack

And the normal ones you get a total of 171 grams per six bags....whereas the thick cut 5 bags you only get 150grams

unless you buy them in a targetted shop against T.......I think I will leave it there otherwise it gets a bit technical...:rotfl::rotfl:
