Directions
1Split each muffin in half and lay on a square of aluminium foil
2Spread both halves of muffin with pizza sauce
3Top with ham and cheese
4Close muffin and wrap up in foil
5Place in slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 45mins
Notes
1I had my foil parcels directly on the bottom of my metallic slow cooker insert. If I was using a ceramic cooker I would elevate the parcels on a trivet etc and add 1cm of water to base of bowl, under the trivet but not reaching the muffins. However in the metal slow cookers this isn't necessary.
2Your imagination is the only limit for these bad boys! Add any pizza topping you usually enjoy - pineapple, mushrooms, capsicum, chicken, onion, bacon, anything!
3The beauty of these are that I had them cooking away for my children's and husbands lunchboxes while we were all seated enjoying our dinner. No fuss, no mess, and done by the time we were done 🙂 Too easy!
4Also great for meals on the road, at the park, or at sports or other family outings!

Do you need to do the tea towel under lid or doesn’t it matter as the muffins are wrapped??

I have been using 2 packs of muffins. Might be increasing to 3 as they are so popular.
One pack with ham, the other pack with salami or kabana.
Also use bbq sauce/tomato sauce. Half tomato other half bbq.
Kids devour them for both breakfast and lunch.
We live in S.E. QLD so they go straight into the fridge once cooked.
I freeze them, if there are any left after a couple of days. I put paper towel in a large freezer safe container and lay them out in a single layer. I place paper towel in between the layers to catch any condensation.
The teens take them out and defrost then warm them in the microwave for breakfast. If they take them for lunch, they just put them in their lunchbox and they defrost in time.

These were a winner today for my miss 2 😋 we used woolies bread rolls. Great to have the option to use my slowcooker as I don’t have an oven

A trivet is like a metal rack 🙂 yep egg rings will do too! 🙂

I think I would give that a go 🙂
If you are able to rotating the layers half way would be great and it wouldn’t need a great deal of extra time I don’t think, maybe 15-20mins more

Sorry what is a trivet? Would a metal egg ring work ok to lift it off the bottom?

Can you load them up on top of each other in the foil to fit more than 4 in?,,And would you need to rotate them half way through cooking and extend cooking time if you did do more than 4?

Some people worry that dry cooking in a ceramic bowl could crack it
Personally I dry cook often and have NEVER ONCE cracked any of my bowls over the years I’ve slow cooked
BUT … I give the option for those that worry as then the water means it is not cooking dry 🙂

Why in a ceramic SC do you need the trivet and water? What’s the difference between the two? I’ve seen this sort of thing mentioned on other recipes.

Since they are wrapped and the cooking time is so brief it’s not needed 🙂
