Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Loved this dish. So easy to make. Only difference was my crockpot required longer cooking time. Will be cooking (at work) for work Christmas lunch.
Can you batch cook and freeze?? Thanks
Nice quick (for slow cooker meal) family friendly meal, I added finely chopped capsicum, zucchini , mushrooms and carrot.
Bit too runny and bland for us. Family scored it 5/10 (lowest score so far!)
Cooked in a 6ltr. Addded 150grams of bacon also. Turned out a little too dry, but still tastes nice
12 year old grandson cooked this last night. Clean plates all round.
Nice recipe to use as a base. I add extra garlic, salt an pepper and herb and garlic mustard. Yum
This one is a no from me. It was so bland. Hubby said it was “different,” which is his polite way of saying it wasn’t for him. I won’t make it again.
This was very nice I added a frozen pea and corn mix and added extra cheese because my family loves cheese. Next time I make this I will add corn flour just to thicken it up a little bit more
Easy and inexpensive dish. Master 13 went back for seconds. A meal made after work done in 2hrs. Followed recipe with corn option. Quite nice and filling.
Simple recipe, I added whole grain mustard, half a brown onion and some paprika to the milk/flour/garlic. Along with celery, peas & corn with the tuna & cheese. Mixture was a little runny at the end of the cook so added a little cornflower & milk to get it thicker. Once cooled i added to foil freezer trays, topped with breadcrumbs & parmesan. Popped them in the freezer for when we need a hearty lunch or side dish after baby no2 makes his appearance.
