Idea's with beef mince...

[Crackle]

Was it 'thank you, that's a really good idea'?

Yeah, something like that: More or less.

Onion, potato and carrot, salt and pepper. Boil potatoes, bung everything into frying pan, season and make a hash!

Like corned beef hash best, instead of mince:
After frying up the onion, fry the raw chopped potatoes, turnip and carrot for 5 minutes then add a half pint of water and a stock cube- but don't add any salt LF, as it's already got enough in the corned beef and stock cube- simmer until everything's cooked then just add the chopped up corned beef and heat through. It's great with chilli powder + HP sauce in too to spice it up. You can add anything into it you like to make it last longer- heat through some sweetcorn in it at the end- that stays really sweet.

You can swap the water for a tin of tomatoes but don't add any extra water then.

If you can get somewhere for wraps and dip we like to use up mince in tortilla wraps- tends to be used as a bit of a fridge emptier.

Here's another favourite, you might need to pick up some smoked paprika and black beans, barbecue sauce and tacos but it's worth the effort

Meatballs! Just chuck whatever herbs & spices you can in, mash it up a bit, seperate & roll into balls & fry till sealed up...then chuck them in a pan (maybe place, rather than actually chuck...in case of breakages) full of dolmio / onions and gravy for 20 mins. Bit of mash, bit of veg, bit of a bellyburp afterwards.

Chips

I agree, throw the mince away and go out for fish and chips.

Is that a Nigella?

I'm not saying the reason I have to use the mince up is because we got take out last night... but it could be true...

Get some of that ready made pastry that comes rolled up in a tube and knock up a pie, lovely.

Just realised I didn't get up early and prep all the veg, put everything in the slow cooker and will be not coming home to a yummy smelling house

So...got to use the mince up, quick tea idea's please... !

Not that quick, but lasagne: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lasagne_40419
Add what you fancy, I leave out the garlic.
OH complains that I'm making it again. (she's just said "boring", but then she doesn't like pasta)

Steak Tartare, you've got hours before you need to start.

I was thinking of trying that a while ago but the recipe book said you need some really good fillet steak. There's an extremely poncy butcher about a mile from me so I went onto their website to find the cost of their steak. £63.50 per kilo.

I settled for sardines on toast.

The bluest steak I've ever eaten was visiting Master A_T in Dijon when he was there for a year.... it was still mooing and ate my vegetables.
