Whats cooking today…. Updated with the finished tea….

In anticipation of my freezer clear out this week I am making some bolognaise sauce to be frozen for some quick dinners when I am back at work next week.

I haven’t bought anything in especially to make this, I have just used what was already in the freezer and I am trying to make it without the help of a bolognaise sauce packet mix!

To save on time, I have just thrown all the ingredients in the slow cooker and now it’s going to quietly bubble away all day without any help from me. When its done, will let it cool and portion it up for the freezer.

Super Quick and Easy Spaghetti Bolognaise Recipe

Ingredients

Frozen mince, Quorn mince (just a bit as I had a bit left over from something or other), frozen chopped onions, two tins of chopped tomatoes, garlic, a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of basil, a teaspoon of oregano and some chopped fresh parsley that I will add a bit later.

Method

Throw ingredients into your slow cooker, give a quick stir and leave for the day.

Don’t forget to turn it on though otherwise tea will be a Big Mac and Fries

Just mix ingredients together, put the lid on and job done!

UPDATE: This is the finished version that Miss Frugal wanted for Supper after she realised that it was finished cooking – Check out the fresh parsley on top…. Most unusual for Chez Frugal but I got a parsley plan from Asda reduced to just 20p.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! :-)

Absolutely love my slow cooker, don't know why I don't use it more in the summer considering how it saves heating up the kitchen! For some reason just seem to equate it with Autumn/Winter. This must change, lol!

I love your blog, a great read and very inspiring!
A tip for your bolanise - I also normally chuck in a load of veg that I have in the fridge (carrots/ courgettes/mushrooms/peppers etc)then just whizz the finished bolonaise in the blender for a few seconds so that my LOs can't spot the veggies!
It tastes lovely and has a good helping of veggies to boot! It also bulks out the bolonaise so I get more portions to go in the freezer.

I hardly ever use my slow cooker in the Summer either but I couldn't be bothered to do much this morning so I dragged it out from the back of the cupboard - will be using it more now though I think.

I usually have veg to use up so I will def try and hide some in there next time... Thanks for the tip
