Minced beef cobbler - fry the mince with onions, mushrooms, or whatever veg you have to hand, add some tinned tomatoes and herbs, bubble for half and hour and then put into a casserole dish. Then rub 3 oz fat into 6 oz flour, add salt and pepper and even some grated cheese if you like, add enough milk to make a dough, and then put balls of the dough mixture all around the edge of the casserole dish. Stick it in the oven and bake it for about half an hour.

bossykate, thanks for the link

sweetmonkey , thats sounds yummy
wwb, that reminds me of home.
Binkie I live in Spain, so we now have a reason to call it Spanish rice, hahaha!

what about a sort of spag bol but then plop it into a lasagne dish, throw over lots of cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, whatever you have) and whisk in a couple of eggs. yum when it's crispy on top straight from oven. it's a bit like a lazy woman's lasagne. ish.

[lucy5]

the lazier the better hahaha!

A bit like hercules said to make the burgers but roll into small balls - you can add some finely chopped onion or some herbs too. Mould the balls around a small cube of cheese & then shallow fry in olive oil or bake in the oven.

Sounds lovely, I stuff my burgers with blue cheese when we bbq.

Shepherd's Pie

Or, one of DH's fave comfort-type foods, a bit yorkshire pudding full of mince and onions, with thick gravy topped with some mash potatoes, and then popped under grill for a few minutes to crisp up.

trefusis, if you do deluxe burgers - just posh mince (eg M&S organic steak mince) without any filler or egg or anything - they don't fall apart (I find).

Topping I love: bunch of sauerkraut, slice of emmenthal on top of that, under the grill for a bit, serve with mocked-up "Russian" dressing (mixture of tomato puree, horseradish & Hellmans).

I am going to try baked bean casserole first as it sounds yummy. Thanks all!
