Minced beef cobbler. Finely dice and fry an onion, then add a packet of mince, sprinkle over a tablespoon of plain flour and brown the meat. Pour stock over it (think I normally do 3 oxo cubes as needs lots of gravy) and leave to simmer and thicken up. Then make up a packet of Aunt Bessie dumpling mix- they work perfectly every time. Drop the dumplings into the mince and put in the oven for about 20-30 mins. Is amazing served with carrots and peas.
