Variations on mince!

[sazzerbear]

I seem to be stuck on either spag bol or cottage pie, any ideas on how I can make mince more exciting as dh is sick of it and i'm sure ds isn't far behind! TIA

Microwave meatloaf?

1 lb mince
4 oz Chopped bacon
1 grated onion
1 tablespoon of tomato puree
1 Tablespoon Worcester sauce
1 egg
4 tablespoons sage & onion stuffing mix or 6 tablespoons of bread crumbs

Mix all together, press into a container (I use a medium sized oval casserole dish)

Time 15 to 20 mins on high power
10 minutes standing

Mince & tatties
Beefburgers (with cheese inside)
Meatballs
Beef Koftas

Ooh - tip from The Gadget Show. Put what ingredients you have into this site and it suggests recipes for you

Bless you, ladies! Many thanks - meatloaf sounds lovely

Kebabs with easy home-made flatbreads? HFW recipe

Lasagne?

Jamie Oliver does a fab recipe in his ministry of food which is a bit like a big cornish pastry. Mince, peas, chopped carrots, celery then put in some pastry and rolled up. Yum.

Also love meatballs. Nigella uses semolina to bind and works so well.

Also beefburgers!

chilli con carne with a schwarz spice mix packet, stretch the mince with kidney beans.

spaghetti and meatballs,half beef half pork mince is really yummy.

I have a cookbook called "Mince" which has nothing but mince recipes in it. I think that there are about 100 different ones using different types of mince. It's by Mitzie Wilson and costs about £8 on Amazon. Definitely worth investing in, if you have a spare £8.

Some of the recipes are Bobotie, keema curry, mince and tatties, meat and potato pie, kofta, pasta with chicken, pork stir fry, chinese pork parcels, cornish pasties, loads of different burger and meatball things.

small handful of mince and grated veg mix with woster and tomato sauce. wrap in pastry (puff or filo work well). bake until golden (think its about 40mins) and serve with gravey and veg.

yum yum yum and very filling. i make extra and have the leftovers for lunch the next day.

You want this book -very old but full of yummy, easy(ish) recipes.

thanks guys, I will never be short of mince recipes again AND there is a cookbook dedicated to mince!!
