MINCE BEEF BROWN WITH STRONG SMELL OF MEAT..GOOD OR NOT ?

[Ratatouille1977]

It's 2 days before the used by date !

What else would you expect it to smell of?

apparently it's not supposed to smell anything !

Fine!

Sorry, meant to write more ... I'm sure it's fine. It smells of meat. Surely that's Ok?

Well of course it will smell of something..

Is this your first experience of cooking?

it's really strong, usually it's not that strong..I don't think I can serve it to the children, the smell is still there even cooked in a bolognese sauce !

Meat that has beeping well usually has I strong meat smell. It should be fine.

What kind of mince was it?

Good quality mince from hung steak will obviously have a stronger smell than cheaper supermarket mince.

If it just smells of 'meat' rather than 'off' then it will be fine.

its not off, but its well matured. You can still eat it like that, but I dont like it. My stepdad on the other hand, prefers it like that.
I think if it goes like that, its better in a chilli than in a bolognese

It's probably just oxidised. Should be fine.

Thank you for your help !!
