I hardly cook much anymore I have been letting my slow cooker do all the work. It’s only recently I have figured out how good a slow cooker is, I honestly thought it was just for winter stews and curries but I have been giving anything a go and so far nothing has flopped. Today I am sharing my latest craze, Spag Bol in the slow cooker. 
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 Pack of Mince, Coles have 500g packs for $3
1 Jar Any Pasta Sauce
1 Tin Crushed Tomatoes
Any Grated Veg you like, carrot, tomato, zucchini, onion anything (1st secret healthy part)
1/2 Cup Red Lentils (this is the 2nd secret healthy part extra protein) they just blend in and look like mince
Spaghetti. As much as you need for your family. (I use wholemeal pasta to keep it healthier 3rd secret healthy part)
WHAT YOU DO:
Simply place everything raw in the slow cooker, give it a stir to spread the meat around, turn on and come back in 1.5 hrs dinner is done.
The only prep is grating the veg, don’t even waste time chopping them up just grate them. This makes two nights dinners for us, what we don’t eat I freeze for a dinner next week. The other great thing about wholemeal pasta is it cooks faster. Enjoy.

Do you brown the meat first? I am doing this for the first time this week and it said to brown it and onion first. Thanks
Julie, NO WAY!! For me that’s the beauty of it. That’s why it’s scary the first time. Really just chuck it all in RAW stir every now and again come back later it’s DONE! You may never need to cook with more than one pot again! I make this every Tuesday so I know it works! R
I have always wondered, why brown mince? Seems such a waste of time. Other cuts, yes, like diced beef, thanks for the very clever tip!
Hi there, do you put the slow cooker on high or low?
Katrina, Low if I’m going out all day or High works if I’ve left it a bit late and need tea in the next few hours. If you put it on high and go out it can burn. R
Thanks, have it on high now (left it a bit late). I love anything I can put in the slow cooker at nap time.
