what do you put in your minced beef..not bolognese

[brimfull]

ie. not a tomatoey one but a beefy one.

I have put in
celery
onion
carrots
beef stock
pepper
cinnamon
thyme

still tastes lacking somewhat.

salt??

worcester sauce?

splash of lea and perrins always a fail-safe for me.

oh yes have put in lea and perrins already

it's salty enough from the beef stock I think

Dark chocolate?
Tom Puree (little bit)?

BBQ sauce

Bacon,
Mushrooms

Soy Sauce

Raisins??

hmm
have no bbq sauce or chocolate unfortunately

raisins??

Hi Ggirl..

SA recipe - Bobotie - souped up mince with raisins. Egg and milk mixture on top and then baked in oven for about a hour - delicious!!!!

bouillon

erma-I have some bobotie leftover in the fridge!!

fil is south african

his is like curried mince though

Sorry - does have a bit of curry in it, but not that hot...

I love curried mince

I put in garlic, thyme, coriander, marmite, black pepper & thicken with oats, not flour.

But my mum use to make us savoury mince with a few raisins - makes the mince a bit sweet and I was a fussy eater when I was little and I never complained ...

oats

what do you just sprinkle oats in ??

am hovering over it with a handful of raisins.

Give the raisins a whirl...

bay leave/bouquet garnet (sp)

Yes, just a handful of oats - but not if it's nearly ready & you just want to add that little extra something, you really need to put them in near the beginning - they need a bit of time to cook.

They are best in hearty big beef casseroles which take about 3 hours to cook with lovely Devon tomatoes and lots of herbs & with baked potatoes....

garlic?

You need Hendersons

mushroom ketchup is great for flavouring.

All-spice and tom puree (and usual salt and pepper) is v tasty in shepherd's pie
