What To Do With Minced Beef???

[katydidthat]

I realised yesterday, that while I like minced beef I know very few recipes for it:  

Spag bol

Stuffed capsicums

Meat loaf

Meatballs 

Recipes, suggestions, and ideas are all welcome.  

And, hello to those that still remember me 🙂 🙂 🙂

uuhhmmm seems a bit of a task to hunt down a porcupine with a car first?

[debra9275]

It could get a bit prickly

my mum use to make something similar to the porcupine but called them hedgehogs and they were done with a cream soup

Yeah now they charge you $30 for one with some mashed potato and a few green beans... That was actually a menu item at a local pub here, you'd think they were a 5 star restaurant

Hello Freddie 🙂 and thank you. Hoping you and yours are well.

(((Patchoo))) are you still here? How's it going?

Really easy lamb shanks recipe. Place shanks in slow cooker, cover with a can of diced tomatoes per every two shanks. Cook for 4 hours on high, 8 on low.

Jazz up how you like, but this is one of those dishes that taste as though you'd spend loads of time on it ... the meat is falling off the bones tender and tasty, the tomatoes make a nice sauce for adding to mashed potatoes or rice.
