Mince Casserole

Got a supply of mince that needs eating up quick? Well this simple recipe is an easy way to ensure you don’t waste a drop of it. Really easy to make, yet really tasty to eat and a real crowd pleaser, everybody will enjoy this one on a cold winters day.



For this recipe you will need:
· Some mince (any variety will do)
· Onions
· Potatoes
· Swede/turnip
· Mushrooms
· Carrots
· Peas
· Beef stock cubes

Making this dish could not be easier. Chop the onion, roughly, add it to a hot stock pot with a little oil. When the onions are softening, add the mince. Brown the mince evenly before adding boiling water to the mix. About a half pan should be enough. Next roughly chop the remaining vegetables and mushrooms and add to the stock pot. Crumble over a couple of beef stock cubes and bring the mix to the boil. Simmer the casserole for a couple of hours, the smell is just delightful.

To serve this dish we most often make some large Yorkshire puddings and spoon the mince casserole mix into the puddings. A great dish for the cold winter months and a great dish for using up scraps of vegetables and the last of the mince in the fridge, a real all rounder. It really doesn’t matter what vegetables or mince go into this dish it is tasty each and every time you make it, and the longer you can bear to leave it the better it becomes.

Enjoy.........
