In the 60s and 70s living as a bachelor with 0 cooking skills he became known among his friends for making these horrid slow cooker meals. I'm reminded of this story because he often used brown rice and tinned beans along with a mish mash of whatever else cheap he could find. He'd throw it all in a slow cooker for far too long till he had a bland tasteless "bachelor's mash".
