Spaghetti Bolognese - which mince?

[Polarbearflavour]

Beef, lamb, pork, veal, venison or Quorn?

Beef in our house

either 50/50 pork/beef or turkey (mostly turkey tbh)

Pork & beef mixed in our house

Lidl pork and beef mince pack

Mixed pork and beef. Sometimes use half sausage meat or veal

Always beef for us.

Nice lean beef.

Beef and pork mix

Beef for me please.

Pork and beef and I make it to eat the next day as the flavours settle and it tastes nicer.

I do lean beef with a bit of bacon

Turkey for us as it's lower in fat and we don't eat a lot of red meat.

50/50 veal/beef and pork if you want authenticity. I use lean steak mince though. I've tried lentils and chopped mushrooms (veggie dd) but don't like, prefer just vegetables if not doing meat

DH came back with turkey mince and said something about it being low fat and better for the environment than beef! So I shall let you know how it turns out...

We usually use beef but have started using ostrich meat as it's really lean and nutritious. Appreciate though that that wouldn't be easy to find in the UK!

Turkey mince is fine. A very different end result from red meat but will still taste ok. A rasher or two of bacon added can be nice. Don't overcook the mince.

Beef.
Turkey mince makes great burgers but I find it a bit sludgy for bolognese. It doesn't hold its texture like beef does. I'd make a tomato veggie sauce and turn the turkey into meatballs to go on top instead.

Beef mince or 50/50 beef and Quorn. Same goes for chilli!

Pork mince or pork/beef 50:50

Lentils!

Bacon and beef or Lidl venison and beef.

Mainly beef but last time we used lamb it was delicious. Actually, for spag bog you do want a higher fat not lower fat!

I prefer slow cooked Bolognese with stewing steak chopped to smithereens and bacon. I've time though.

Turkey for big standard mid week meal.

Veal (English Rose), beef and pork mix with finely shipped streaky bacon for something more luxurious.
