Help exhausted-beef mince-standard veg/spices

[duletty]

Please help I can’t face churning out another spaghetti bolognese/chilli rice...I have the mince, bog standard fresh veg. Spices/herbs, pasta/noodles/rice. And tinned stuff
I’m exhausted from work, dh has had 3 kids for 3 weeks working from home any ideas 😘

Ginger and chilli crispy beef mince with rice? Fry beef for about 5 minutes until grey then add chilli in any form, ditto ginger, soy sauce, a spoon of sugar or honey and a bit of coriander leaf and lemon or lime zest if you have it. Keep frying until crispy in places. Serve with rice and some steamed or stir fried veg (Carrot ribbons, broccoli, green beans, peppers etc).

Tacos? Or taco spiced mince in wraps with salad or rice

San choy Bau - mince and black bean sauce etc served with rice or even better lettuce cups

Ooh that sounds gorgeous thank you ☺️

Cottage pie, if you have potatoes
Burgers
Meat balls
Lasagna, if you have the sheets.

Burgers?

Patties
Meat balls
Kofte
Stir fried with Asian flavours and wrapped in lettuce leaves with some crispy noodles
Turkish pizzas - make a flat bread with yoghurt

I made a version of this but substituted things based on what I had in the fridge/cupboard and personal taste. I couldn't tell you exactly what
I did but it was very tasty!

You are all so kind thank you so much for your ideas, will read through need to walk the dog now but much inspired for a tasty supper 👍

It’s not massively different from chilli, but Picadillo is easy and nice. Especially if served with plantain.

Yes burgers Water, I made then last night. Topped with bacon, tomato, onions and cheese in a bun.

Meatloaf?

Samosas? Lasagne? Stuffed canaloni? Stuffed peppers? Burgers?

Keema is easy and would make a change.
Cottage pie or mince and dumplings are always popular too, and are a good way to use up any bits of vegetables.

Bobotie -delicious!

Meatballs with finely chopped onion, an egg, breadcrumbs and some grated cheese. Season the mixture well and check it by frying a tiny bit to taste. Stir fry vegetables with a dash of soy sauce and if you have it, sesame seeds or crushed roasted peanuts.

No time to read now but with those ingredients I’ve made in the last week -

1. Galouti Kebabs with Pilau rice

1. Keema Pilau

1. Aloo Mattar Keema (curried mince potatoes and peas) with steamed rice

You’ll basically need Indian spices + ginger garlic and onion in some form

Dirty Cajun rice. I love it but use a 1/3 of the spices as it can be really strong. Don't always have spring onions or sweetcorn, and sometimes throw carrot in as well.

Also, sloppy joes. Doesn't sound appealing but tastes great. Serve them on burger buns or on top of chips with melted cheese. Loads of different recipes online

You can make sort of Indonesian style meatballs if you make a sauce of peanut butter, chilli, soy, ginger and some coconut cream to go with them. Add water as the sauce thickens, to get it as runny as you want. Kids like the peanut flavour, if you don’t make the sauce too hot with the chilli.

meatsheet - mix mince with grated/finely chopped veg (I made it today with carrot and cauliflower that I whizzed in the food processor), onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg if you have it, tomato ketchup and bbq sauce. Then spread it out in a sheet on an oven tray, about an inch thick. Can glaze with a mix of ketchup, bbq sauce and vinegar. Then cook at 190 for 20 minutes then under the grill for 5 mins.
