    Easy Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce


    8 ounces Italian sausage
    1 pound lean ground beef
    2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juice
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
    1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
    1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
    1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
    1 to 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    2 teaspoons dried leaf basil
    dash ground red pepper or red pepper flakes, if desired

    Remove sausage from casings; brown in a heavy skillet along with ground beef. Break up sausage and ground beef while browning; drain well.

    Add sausage and beef to crockpot, along with all remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours. Serves 8 to 10. This sauce can be frozen.
  • 450g (1lb) Red Cabbage
    About 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
    125ml (4 fl oz) water
    1 level teaspoon salt
    About 2 heaped teaspoons sugar
    450g (1lb) cooking apples

    Remove any damaged leaves from the cabbage. Cut into quarters, remove the core and slice finely across the grain. Put the wine vinegar, water, salt, sugar into a cast iron casserole or stainless steel pan. Add the cabbage and bring to the boil.

    Meanwhile peel, core and quarter the apples. Lay them on top of the cabbage, cover and continue to cook gently until the cabbage is tender. About 30 minutes to 1 hour. Taste for seasoning and add more sugar if necessary.

    Very nice served with pork and creamed potatoes!

    I didn't have wine vinegar so I used 1/2 a tablespoon of ordinary vinegar instead and it tasted just fine.

    I only have 300ml of whipping cream, can anyone tell me if I can make it up to 425ml with single cream or will it go all wrong?

    In the meantime, here's the link to the Dairy Council website perhaps you can find some info on your cream query there?

    I've often stretched whipping cream with milk so probably your single cream would do
    You can if you think you can!

    This wasn't exactly a formal recipe, just something I threw together with a bunch of stuff I'd picked up on reduced to clear! I did it in a big pot on the stove but will use SC next time. The quantity I used made about 5 portions.

    Ingredients: 12 Sainsburys Taste the Difference pancetta & parmesan sausages, 1 leek, 1 courgette, 1 yellow pepper, 1 green pepper, 2 quite large red chillies (de-seeded - but I suppose you could leave the seeds in if you're that way inclined!), 1 large onion, 4 cloves garlic, about 8 or 9 chestnut mushrooms, 1 tin chopped tomatoes, 1 pint vegetable stock (from a cube), a big slug of port wine (but ordinary red wine would probably also work) dried mixed herbs, 2 bay leaves, black pepper.

    Method: Chop up everything on the list up to and including the mushrooms. When I did it on the hob I started off by putting some olive oil in the bottom of the pan and softening up the onion, garlic & peppers, but I bet if you use the SC you could just chuck everything in together. Then add all the liquid and herbs, stir up together, and leave it to cook. Serve with rice.

    I make various sausage casseroles all the time, but it was definitely the tastiest ever! I haven't done one with chilli in it before, and the spicy edge just completes the flavour. Also, the TTD sausages were perfect as they didn't fill the sauce with grease (as my plain Co-Op pork sausages did in my previous effort). I suppose if you're using sausages with a higher fat content it might be an idea to grill them gently first - enough to drain off some of the fat but not so much that the skins go brown and spoil the squishy texture you get in the casserole.

    This is a really cheap & easy pudding recipe from an American recipe book called "More with Less" The measurements are american cups, which is the 8oz mark on any measuring jug.

    Quick Fruit Cobbler
    Crust begins on the bottom & ends up on the top. Consistency of cobbler varies depending on variety of fruit and amount of juice, but still tastes delicious.
    Preheat oven to 180 C
    Combine in bowl
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup flour
    1/2 cup milk
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Pour into 9x 9 inch greased baking pan
    Add
    2 cups fruit - fresh, frozen or canned
    Bake for 40 minutes

    I use self raising flour, & don't bother with the baking powder. Also, I am not too fussy about the size of the pan, in fact usually do it in an oval pyrex dish.
    It is not obvious that the ingredients of the cake bit are as simple as they are. I made it recently for dessert using a large tin of fruit salad. It was really nice, served with custard.

    Very simple but needs to be made the day before.

    Ingredients:

    Equal quantities of double cream and Greek yoghurt
    Dark muscovado sugar

    Mix the cream and yoghurt together and pour into a pretty glass dish. Sprinkle a thick layer of the sugar on top. Put in the fridge.

    The sugar seeps down through the mix and goes all black-treacly. Yummy!

    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
