Keep the ideas coming. We eat spag bol, pies etc, ds (3) has asked for burgers!!

Aubergine and mince bake

Burgers are sooo easy

Mash up the mince with an egg, salt & pepper, a few herbs or nutmeg are nice in them, shape, dust with flour, grill

Meatballs the same, onl make them round

Fry them off & then add tin of tomatoes, puree, seasoning, herbs etc

We do a thing we call burritos, which is chilli wrapped up in fajitas with cheese on top slightly browned off. Dh makes 'em so I can't be more specific, but it's basically a chilli con carne filling (ie spicy mince, tomatoey kidney bean concoction).

And bl**dy delicious it is too

We've just had some burger type things which is a recipe of my mum's. You mix a pound of mince with one egg, an oxo cube, 2 ounces flour and enough milk to give dropping consistency. You then put a spoonful into a frying pan on med heat and cook on both sides.

The burgers/fritters are much lighter than normal ones and the kids love them. That is the basic recipe but you can add herbs, spices, grated onion anything really.
