    This is a family favourite…and is so simple -it cook’s itself and if you pop it on before you go to work…all you need to do when you return home is cook up  some rice!

    This recipe requires a slow cooker.

    If you’re a bit bored with spag bog, meatballs or meatloaf, try these porcupines.  The tinned tomato soup gives an amazing sweetness to the sauce.  Add use whatever herbs you have lying around to create a different flavour each time.
