Hello you lot! Morning

Straight to the point, anyone have a recipe for mince that isn't Spag bol or Cottage pie?

Have 500g beef mince from freezer that needs to go and need inspiration!

Katymac · 12/06/2007 12:38

I never use the recipe - but here we go

2lb mince
1cup breadcrumbs
2 onion finely chopped
1 dessert spoon curry
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (fresh is lovely)
1 egg
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk

Mix and put in a loaf tin 1 1/4 hrs gas 2/3

(but I use less mince more breadcrumbs)

Hot tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablesppon vinegar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1oz butter

Heat until butter melts and mix well

I pour some sauce over the meatloaf in the last 30 mins of cooking

Also sauce is nice over cauli, boiled potato or over something fancy like Pork fillet in pate & puff pastry

you could always do five cans of red bull, have a shot of aftershock,a voddy, and a glass of chamapgne then party hard?

That way all the sleezy men will look like brad pit and god-hes-so-fit-daniel-craig.

I've spoken to Kbear and we've decided we are miserable old bags and should just shut up and go! Dh's to pick up not an option Soak, they're be babysitting won't they! Thing is we've danced on bars and flown half way across the world at the drop of a hat and partied HARD - when we were single and young. This friend didn't - so we will go with a spring in our step, laugh and be merry........and fall asleep on the floor at 10.30!
