What size of a “tin” of tomatoes? We have cans that are around 14 oz and others that are large…28-32 oz
I would think it’s a 440g can 🙂
I made this tonight i wouldn’t normally do it slow cooker or use bacon but as i wasn’t home all afternoon i thought why not….otherwise we are take away rubbish and i cant afford it right now being school holidays. Was delicious thanks for inspiration ?
Omg this was so good! Never again will I do meatballs just on the stove! Next time I will also double the number of meatballs!
Can I use chicken stock instead of beef stock
Yes Janet if you wanted to 🙂
I tried this tonight and it was so watery. After 4 1/2 hrs I had to serve it, the fkavours were nice but it was just clear water with a tinge of red. So dissapointed I followed the recipe but its way to much liquad.
So we tried this one last night.. very good and another to have on the list to do again.
So easy I put a bag of fresh gnocchi in for the last hour ?
Really enjoy this recipe add in grated carrot and zucchini super easy and tasty
Made this tonight. It was a bib watery but i put in a desert spoon of the gravy powder & it turned out amazing. Put it on high for a while & then back to low. The sauce was yummy. Will make it again ??
