Idea's with beef mince...

[luckyfox]

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... !

Hate to start with a 'yeah-but', but I always think beef mince recipes really need to involve at least a couple of hours lo-heat cooking, otherwise the meat tends to be a bit rubbery. That to one side, I've never had anyone complain about a shepherd's pie, and all you need apart from the meat is a few onions and carrots, potatoes and stock.

Go for a cheaty chilli. Go to shop, buy tin of chilli, kidney beans and doritos. Easy and very tasty :-D

Tomatoes, mushrooms' onions, garlic,

Add mince, a little chilli powder and pasta

Et voila, pasta bolognese.

Can't beat spaghetti bolognaise... fry an onion until golden, [add garlic, salt, pepper and oregano if you already have them] then add mince until it loses it's raw colour, add a couple of tins of tomatoes + a dollop of any red wine- you could add a chopped carrot or a teaspoon of sugar to reduce the tomatoes' acidity if you want. Simmer for 40 minutes + boil the spaghetti for the last 10 minutes until just tender.... mix all together- should last for about 3 nights' teas! If you keep the spaghetti and the sauce separate you can then add chilli powder, more garlic and a tin of cooked + drained red kidney beans after the second evening's tea to make it into chilli con carne to last another 2 nights!

Beaten to it by old bloke!

Staple diet since student days.

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

Oooh like this idea! The burgers sounds nice and pretty easy but changing it up for the rest of the week could really work. Really not a fan of having the same meal twice in a week.

Aubergine would be good in that.

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