My son Ted, who is 10, has now joined a local football team. Ted loves football and I’m really happy for him. Every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning Ted train with his team mates. It means that on a Wednesday I need to get dinner on the table before Ted goes to practise. Therefore I have been trying out new recipes. I thought about make a stir fry the other night. Then I decided to cook a Chinese in my slow cooker. It was an easy dinner to prepare and cook. Plus it was really tasty too. We enjoyed this meal and we hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Slow Cooker Chinese Mince Beef was a yummy mid week meal. All the ingredients in this dish are freezable so you could make a big batch and freeze it for another occasion. I ate the leftovers from this meal and they were even better the next day. However you decide to eat this dinner, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
