Making stuff with mince meat.

Jimmy Garlic

What do you like to make with mince meat?. I just found a bag of frozen mince meat and I need some suggestions.

Millicent

Lasagne
Meatballs
Bolognese
Burgers
Shepherd's/Cottage Pie (I always forget which is the beef one!)
Chili...

I'll think of more.

Bowl of mince meat, with milk. Like a cereal I suppose

minced meat, or mincemeat?

i never could figure out why it was called mincemeat when there's nothing even remotely meaty about it.

My ingredients are limited, I would like chili but I don't have Kidney beans or chili powder or rice.

Ha! What do you have there?

ETA: Have you curry powder? Curry mince is the dog's, made with ordinary baked beans and slopped over mashed potatoes.

vibe666

make some homemade burgers.

AntiMatter

Do have an egg, some thyme, onion, salt and pepper, and maybe some burger baps.

You could make some home-made burgers.

I have curry powder but it is that instant stuff for curried chips. I have a rake of onions, Butter beans, Macaroni, half a block of gouda cheese, chinese five spice, soy sauce, about 6 potatoes, a head of lettuce, 2 potato waffles and some hash browns, frozen peas, cornflakes, porridge, milk, 3 eggs, and a packet of polo biscuits.

Edit, I found some KP sauce.

Chinese 5-spice burgers and chips.

Instant stuff'll do it and the onions will work well in it too. Except you've no spuds. Fecking hell OP, you aren't making this easy! Burgers sound like your best option here, though they might be fairly bland.

ETA: See you have peas -- they'll work in the curried mince and just noticed you do have spuds. Fry up your mince and add in curry sauce, water, frozen peas and onions. Leave to cook on mid-heat for about 20 minutes while you boil up and mash the potatoes. Really gratifyingly sloppy meal.

Sounds good. Egg, onion mince and five spice to make the burger?.

Aye. Lash it together, one egg, and any other condiments you have, and fry away.

Chips as per normal.

And maybe a 5-Spice fried egg, on the side.

Get your mince, add whatever you have in the cupboard (if you have nothing that's ok) cook it so you don't die from eating it. Eat mince.

Meat only requires cooking so you don't die, other than that it's loverly raw.

Stick a bit of the KP sauce into the mince mixture for a better flavour.

go easy on the five spice....you can add a small amount of kp or ketchup to your burger to keep it moist without overpowering the flavour.

dont chop the onions too small

make them thin so you dont cook them too long to the chipboard stage

enjoy

But it's meat why ruin it with vegetables? Although he never said what kind of minced meat it is. I'm just assuming it's bovine, if it's feline or canine then it could need some tenderising.

HP sauce I ment to say, I am getting my Hs and Ks mixed up. I am getting the spuds ready for chips now anyways.. They will have to soak for a bit.

Dammit, I was thinking HP too! Brown sauce you mean? That'll do the trick nicely. Just put a couple of squirts into the mixture. Adds flavour and keeps the burgers from falling apart.

there are meat purists......like you

and then there are..omnivorists... or deviants...like me


I once added some fried cubed potato and mixed peppers to bolgnese and then grated some red cheddar over it and the pasta before finally adding the obligatory knobs of butter ah la Nigella (mmmmmm)....and you know what?...despite crushing convention on the matter it was sinfully tasty...I had multiple taste orgasms....I could barely contain the taste explosion in my mouth.

I was just going to post that I was pleasantly surprised that the OP was getting mostly serious replies.

I love the following dish;

Get yourself some pork mince too, mixe the beef and pork mince together with some breadcrumbs.

Boil some celery, make sure it's nicely cooked.

In a different pot heat up some tinned tomatoes (about 2-3 tins), add some basil if you have some. Drain the celery but keep the water from the pot. Add the celery and the meatballs to the tinned tomatoes, add the water from the celery pot once the tinned tomatoes have boiled. Serve with some potatoes, nyom nyom...

Mince pies were originally made with meat, fruits, spices and wine as a Christmas treat.

By degrees, the meat was gradually reduced / eliminated, though old-fashioned homemade mincemeat often still has beef suet in it.

raw mince won't kill you, well as long as its fresh anyway.

i've been eating raw beef (steak & mince), & bacon for many years and not a bother on me.

celery isn't food, it's like the human equivalent to wooden stakes for vampires and should be eradicated from the planet. quite frankly i'd rather eat a wanksock. :eek:
