Notes

Beef mince: You can use ground beef or hamburger meat if you're in the US.

Onion: I like to use frozen, pre-peeled and chopped for speed, but you can use fresh if that’s what you have

Chilli powder: I recommend using this for the flavour and heat, however if you really don’t want spice for the kids, you could leave it out altogether. You can add chilli sauce to individual adult portions at the end. There’s also the option of making it spicier by adding more chilli too, of course!

Cheese: I use mozzarella because of the lovely melted ‘pull’, but use whatever your prefer

Red peppers: The type of peppers used here are bell peppers

Spring onion: These are called scallions/green onions in the US.

Leftovers: You can use the sauce (minus the wraps) as another dish if you have leftovers. It makes a fantastic lunch over a jacket potato or rice for another easy dinner

Prep the night before: To save time, add all the ingredients to the pot and pop in the fridge overnight. Then put it into the slow cooker in the morning
