1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

2 tsp garlic salt

1sp dried oregano

Sauce

1 tbsp cider vineger

2 tbsp tomato sauce

4. Serve the patties with sauce and vegetables

Comments: I don't have a photo of this because I ate it at my parents however it came from one of my recipe books. Everyone in New Zealand knows Dame Alison Holst and her recipes this came from one of her and her son's combined books: All new Delicious slow cooker recipes. It was absolute perfection.

Comments: this recipe was yum and it serves roughly three meals. I got this recipe from Full Bellies, Happy Kids I admittedly modified it slightly to my tastes but it was super yummy (and yes I am one of those odd people who likes pineapple on their pizza) But this was delish and made about three meals so I'm super glad I can eat some more at a later date :-)

Edit: looking at the recipe it looks like I forgot to throw in the eggs! woops! (a couple of eggs is optional)
