250 g of mince to one slice of bread - this usually feeds 2 adults and 4 small children once its turned into meatballs! makes it quite economical as its quite filling.also can be frozen prior to baking if you end up with too many then just defrost as necessary next time. x

Cool, thanks.

I suspect DW and I may polish it off ourselves, though we'll see!

I assume it could be frozen (in the sauce) after cooking too, and then just re-heated once defrosted in the microwave (till it's really hot)?

Hi katie Jane,

I've added your recipe to the main thread on meatballs and sauces so it can be found easily by anyone looking for a recipe.

lots of garlic, some onion, chopped pepper if you have it.. softened, add stock cube, tinned tomatoes (2 tins) tomato puree (good squeeze), tomato ketchup (squirt), italian herbs, Worcestershire sauce, a bayleaf, capers/ olives if you have them, a good teaspoon of mint sauce.. my magic ingredient! add a bit of chilli if you like it spicy
cook for ages till its delicious.. cost.. pence...

Not sure when you need to add meatballs or how much water sorry as I am ashamed to say I have not used my slow cooker it has been sitting in my kitchen for a whole three months now:o
