Minced (ground) beef is one item you can be sure I have in my shopping cart every week! I always feel secure knowing I’ve always got a packet of mince in my fridge (or freezer) as it means dinner is basically sorted. And it’s usually a budget-friendly, simple, quick dinner – ideal for busy weeknights. Even better, I know I can easily whip the kind of family-friendly meal that my kids will love.
Mince is one of the most adaptable proteins – you can get really creative with this humble ingredient as it takes on a huge range of different flavours! I use it in so many dishes, from go-to staples like Bolognese and Homemade Beef Burgers, to comforting classics like Cottage Pie and Juicy Beef Rissoles. And for fakeaway vibes – whether you’re feeling like Asian, Mexican or Middle Eastern – mince and a handful of simple pantry staples is all you really need – try One-pan Beef Ramen Noodles, Big Mac Tacos or Juicy Oven-baked Kebabs.
