What To Do
 Between 1-2pm: Place the mince, onion, bay leaf, tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms/carrots/peas
and celery in a slow cooker
Crush the stock cube, and sprinkle on top. Stir well to mix,
put on the lid and turn the cooker on to "high".
Place the potatoes in a suitable saucepan.
Add cold water to cover the potatoes, and set aside until later.
Go out and enjoy the match!
When you get back, check the mince in the slow cooker
- it should be cooked by now, in which case turn the heat down to "low".
Season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
Place the saucepan of potatoes on your hob and bring to the boil
while you sort out everyone's drinks.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain, add a good knob of butter, and mash thoroughly.
Serve the mince onto each plate, and top with mashed potato.
It may not be haute cuisine, but it just hits the mark perfectly on a cold winter's day!
