1. Top it in some way - crumble topping, mashed potato, mashed root veg, etc.
2. Use it to fill a pie
3. Use it as a bolognaise mixture with spaghetti or pasta.
4. Add some chilli and some kidney beans to make a con carne.
5. Use a bit of my bread dough and make a (sort of) calzone.
6. Top a pizza base and sprinkle cheese over the top before baking.
7. Add a curry sauce or paste (and more veg).
8. It might make a ravioli filling, especially if I reduce it down a bit more
9. Lasagne! I have to use my new small lasagne dish. They are so hard to find - most little dishes don't have high enough sides.
10. Cannelloni.
11. Jacket potato filling.
12. Sloppy Joe - which I had to look up. It's using the mince to fill a burger bun.
13. Slacken it with passata or stock, add more veg and make a soup.
14. Fill a wrap or pitta.
15: Tosted sarnie filling.
I'm sure there are more ideas - keep them coming!
Man Wonderful says Stuffed Peppers, maybe with some cooked rice added?
ReplyDeleteAnother good one, thanks, Tracey! Or stuffed beef tomatoes perhaps.

I do a sort of quick cheats lasagne sometimes.....cook some pasta spirals and make a cheese sauce. Stir the pasta and half the cheese sauce through the cooked mince in a deep dish, pour over the remaining sauce, top with breadcrumbs and grated cheese and bake in hot oven for 20-25 mins.
ReplyDeleteDid you see Rick Stein in Albania he made a topping from Greek yoghurt eggs and white sauce to cover a lamb dish but I see no reason it would not work over savoury mince
ReplyDeleteI'm behind with responding to comments, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteSooze, That works well, doesn't it and, as you say, a bit easier. When in a hurry it's a good substitute.
Diane, no, I didn't.I must look that up, thanks.
