This is my favourite I’m going to be gone all day meal.

Crockpot Hot Pot

Ingredients:
500g beef mince
2 tins diced or crushed tomatoes (flavoured are nice)
2 tins kidney beans
1 kg frozen diced vegetables (the cheap ones are good for this)
1 cup uncooked rice (brown works best, white goes gluggy)

Method:
Put mince, tomatoes and kidney beans in the crockpot with a tin of water and stir. Then stir in the rice and vegetables. Turn crockpot on low and go about your day until dinner. If you know that your crockpot cooks fast then turn on later in the day.

You could add seasonings such as mixed herbs or well, anything you like really I usually use the flavoured tinned tomatoes so I don’t bother but you could.
