My Smoko Break: Easy slow-cooked meal

This sounds plain and simple, but it is actually very tasty and can also be used for say Shepherd's pie, breakfast pre-prepared to have on toast or regular pastry pies, which also freeze.

In no particular order, put all of the following ingredients into a slow cooker, and set in low for six hours.

2kg of mince

2 lge chopped carrots

2 lge chopped sweet potatoes

4 regular potatoes

1 pkt of French onion dry soup mix

1 Tbsp of garlic paste

2 Tbsp of brown sugar

1/2 tsp of salt

Pepper (optional)

2 cups of water

1 tsp of beef stock

Approx. 5 minutes before serving, add 1 cup of frozen peas. Stir, and if you need to thicken, add a paste of cornflour and water until the desired texture. 

I served this on a bed of pasta, as a meal on the go.
