Ingredients 400g beef shin 2 medium potatoes 2 medium carrots 1/2 an onion 250ml beef stock 1 tbsp tomato puree 1 clove of garlic, crushed 1 tbsp gravy granules Method (If making mini pies, chop everything smaller) 1)  If the beef shin isn't chopped, cut it into big chunks. 2) Chop the carrots, potatoes and onion and put them into the slow cooker with the beef. 3) Add the stock and mix the tomato puree through with the garlic. 4) Cook on high for 4 hours or medium for 6.

topping: cheese and bacon

Connecticut Supper (we usually called it hamburger casserole) 2 pounds ground beef 2 large onions, chopped 4 large potatoes, sliced 2 tsp butter 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup sour cream 1 1/4 cup milk salt and pepper 8 oz. cheddar cheese Brown hamburger along with onions, drain. Place in large baking dish with melted butter. Place potatoes over the beef. In a separate dish, stir together soup, sour cream milk, salt and pepper. Pour this sauce over potatoes and meat. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Bake at 350 F for 1 1/2 hours or until potatoes are done. I think I have made this by stirring all ingredients together rather than layered and it does fine. I also think I cover it for the first part of baking so it doesn't get too toasty or dry on top, but uncover it for the last 15 minutes or so. I also think it gets done in about an hour as long as the potatoes aren't sliced too thick.

from: http://www.sitstay.com/blogs/good-dog-blog/37662913-coconut-oil-for-dogs-the-ultimate-guide " How much coconut oil should you give your dog? When starting your dog on coconut oil, it is absolutely vital that you start slow. Begin slow, start with a tiny amount. Your dog needs to take time for their body to adjusts to the addition to their diet. If you start with larger amount of coconut oil, your dog could react poorly. Side effects can include diarrhea or greasy stools. START WITH SMALL AMOUNTS ¼ teaspoon per day for small dogs and puppies. 1 teaspoon for large dogs, or even just a dab if your dog's constitution is sensitive. AFTER YOU'VE LET THEIR BODY ADJUST, A GENERAL GUIDELINE FOR THE OPTIMAL DOSE OF COCONUT OIL FOR DOGS IS. About 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight daily Or about 1 tablespoon per 30 pounds COCONUT OIL ON DOG'S SKIN Again, DO NOT start with these amounts in the beginning! In addition to giving your dog orally, coc...
