Minced meat

[sheeplikessleep]

I got a pack of mince out of the freezer with the intention of making shepherds pie, but I'm shattered and want to make something a bit easier and quicker now.

Any ideas/tips ... I'm thinking meat balls, but is there anything else I'm forgetting (had chilli last week, so don't fancy that again).

Any ideas / suggestions very much welcome - thanks!

PS pastry is out of the question too

spag bol

I'd go with Spag Bol too

we didn't have spag bol long ago either and i know we have a stash in the freezer.

awkward sod aren't i! i really want shepherds pie but without the effort

baked pots and mince

or

mince in wraps baked in oven with cheese on

yum

Do the mince as for shepherds pie but serve with big Yorkshire puds (which are much easier than messing around with potatoes).

Home made burgers - mix mince with chopped onion, herbs, seasoning, 1 egg & tomato puree. (Can add finely chopped veg/mushrooms if you like too)
Shape and then grill, fry or oven

mmm, we do have baked potatoes in. yorkshire puds idea sounds good too ... will have to check freezer.

all of these sound lovely - anyone want to come around and cook them for me ?

my last week of work before maternity leave starts next week (and i'm full of cold). i know i can't reach for the frozen pizza ...

i'll see if dh would prefer burgers or mince idea (it is the peeling and mashing of potatoes which i'm not in the mood for). hopefully he'll take the hint and offer to cook!

Hope you enjoyed whatever you chose - and you reach for the frozen pizza if you want to in your condition!!

thanks jackstini - dh made burgers actually (and we had chips and salad with it ), just what the doctor ordered.

thanks for everyone's suggestions!

Now I want burgers too - I have got some mince for tonight.

Do we have to have salad with? There's snow outside, who wants to eat salad!?
