Slow Cooker Pat's Scouse

I first cooked this typical liverpudlian dish a few years ago. I cooked it in my biggest pot and at the end of the cooking I had to split it in two pans and was struggling to keep it from sticking to the bottom. My friend pat (RIP) lent me a slow cooker and I was a convert ever since. She will always be remembered

    The typical scouse used to be accompanied by red cabbage and pickled beetroot. I suggest any sort of pickles you like will go fabulous. I am planning to have a taste of my first batch of the green beans I pickled back in September.
