 Cut the bacon into small squares, a bit like pancetta. You might find this easier with a pair of scissors.
-Put all the ingredients into your slow cooker.
+Take half the carrots and half of the onion and fry it in a little oil.
-Crush the garlic and add the bay leaves to the mix.
+Once the veg starts to turn soft and the oil is nice and warm add your ale and add about 3 quarters of your stock; then stir.
-Pour in your gravy and give the mix a good stir.
+Next add flour until the gravy reaches a nice thickness, if you make it too thick you can add some of your left over stock to even it out.
-Leave the cooker on a low setting and leave for at about 8 hours. Check that the meat is ready using just a fork, if its soft and flaky its ready to go.
+Use a strainer over to strain the gravy into a jug. Press on the veg with your spoon to get all the goodness from it. And that’s your gravy!
-Serve with mash and your favourite veg.
