Bring me your one-person slow-cooker recipes!

Options
So, I recently invested in a slow cooker, but all the recipes I see make at least 6 servings - sometimes up to 12! Having only 1.5 litres in my small one, and there only being one of me, this is very inconvenient ...

So, do you have any one-person slow cooker recipes? I am vegan, but it doesn't matter if your recipes aren't - that's what Quorn was invented for ;)

    Some sites will let you input the number of servings on a recipe, like this one... I Know it's not vegan I use soy crumbles from the grocery store instead of ground beef, Maybe you could chopped up various veggies instead


    STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

    1 green peppers
    ¼ lb extra lean ground beef , I prefer 90% lean
    1⁄8; cup long grain white rice , raw
    ¼ onion , chopped
    1⁄3; garlic cloves , minced
    1 (2 1⁄3; ounce) can original stewed tomatoes , chopped
    1 (1 ¾ ounce) can tomato soup
    1⁄8;-1⁄8; cup chili sauce
    1⁄8;-¼ teaspoon salt
    1⁄8; teaspoon fresh black pepper
    Directions:
    1Wash peppers, cut tops off and remove core. Drain and chop stewed tomatoes, reserving liquid.2In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, rice, onion, garlic, 1/2 of the chopped stewed drained tomatoes, salt and pepper.3Stuff peppers with this mixture and sit in the crockpot standing up. Trim bottoms of any especially wonky peppers though they should stand and up packed nicely.4Combine tomato soup, chili sauce, the rest of the chopped tomatoes and reserved stewed tomato liquid. Check the consistency as you may not need all of the reserved tomato liquid.5Pour sauce over peppers.6Cook on low 6-8 hours or until tender. This can take less or more time as crockpots differ wildly.

    Take the normal size recipes and just half all of the ingredients.
