Introduction

I love this cheap and cheerful family dinner.

It’s perfect for those busy days when you know you have to feed a family at the end, or for those warm days when you don’t want to run your oven.

And now that a trip to the supermarket costs about $7,000, it’s a budget-friendly, tasty and filling dinner that can safely stay on high rotation.

Imagine. You can take all the childhood favourite flavours of a classic cheeseburger, but make it under $4.50 per serve.

Even better, you don’t need to leave the house to get it and it cooks itself!

Slow, fast food anyone?

Pour the beef stock and tomatoes into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Step 4
