16 small pork chipolata sausages cut in half (or 8 regular pork sausages cut into quarters)
500g of small diced mixed vegetables (I used a bag of frozen veg)
100g diced bacon
400g can of crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup of raw macaroni pasta
1.5 cups water (total)
1 cup grated tasty
Parmesan cheese to serve

Add vegetables to slow cooker
Add bacon and cut, raw sausages
Combine tomatoes, BBQ sauce, and just half a cup of water and pour over
Cook on low for 4.5hrs
Add the remaining 1 cup of water (hot) and raw pasta. The additional water will be absorbed by your pasta during cooking
Cook on low for an additional 40mins or until pasta is cooked to your liking.
Just keep an eye on it during this stage as if your cooker is hotter than others it may need extra water but just add 1/2 cup at a time if you think it's needed.
Stir through tasty cheese then serve
Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for a complete one pot meal for the whole family
