Minced beef, inspire me?

[FinnyStory]

I've got some out of the freezer for dinner but I'm already bored with the idea.

DS2 won't eat anything tomato based, so it rules out the chilli, bolognaise, lasagne type staples, although for a really great idea, I'd give him sausages!

I thought maybe meatballs but now I CBA to faff about with them 😁

WWYD?

Shepherds/cottage pie? We had that last night, with cheese on top, bubbled under the grill, with broccoli and picked beetroot. It went down a treat in this dismal weather.

Tacos or Cumberland pie?

I made a cottage pie and firstly part cooked some bad idea cheap oven chips the put them on top of the meat mix and cooked for 30 mins. It made the chips edible.

Wouldn't Tacos have tomato?

I often do a cottage pie, I'm hoping for something different.

Beef kofta kebab with some salad and pita bread
Burgers

minced beef and onion pie? Get some roll out pastry and thats a win!

Savoury mince? Whatever small veg you have with some herbs and Worcestershire sauce and stock powder.

We put dumplings on top

Tacos do not have tomato with the mince OP!
You "garnish" tacos with tomatoes if you so wish but since you don't like tomatoes, leave them out.

Burgers? Beef kofta-style kebabs?

I'd def just buy a taco kit, sour cream, lettuce and cheese.

Cobbler, savoury mince with a scone topping baked together.

Vegetables eg, peppers, stuffed with mince mixture & baked with a cheese topping.

Make a bolognese style sauce, without tomato, use soffritto, red wine, good stock etc for flavour, then use in any suitable dish.

We love this hot pot, but I don't know if too similar to a cottage pie for what you're looking for!

Minced beef with a cheese & onion topping? Fry off about 4 halved & sliced onions, add to a cheese roux ( heavy on cheese, light on milk) and Lancashire cheese is best. Top the cooked mince with it & bake until the topping is brown & bubbling

Empanadas -we usually leave out the olives. I guess similar would be cornish pasties.

Burger mince? Fried up until crispy with chopped onion and gherkin.
Cheese, mustard, ketchup and lettuce / crusty bread on the side.

I made the Biryani, thank you. Clean plates all round and enough left for the freezer

I am always when I read “savoury mince”, like there are people somewhere eating sweet mince.

I always thought it was to distinguish from "mincemeat" in mince pies?

I normally use pork mince, but you could try beef mince to make sang chow bow or lettuce cups. No tomato, but Chinese inspired flavours.

Another I do, also usually with pork, is Thai Larb. You could tweak it for a mild verion the kids would eat, and again, no tomato.
