Is there anything that i could make with mince lamb/beef?

Question

like shepards pie, something simple for dinner. To give my mum a break. With it i would do chips, any suggestions.

Answer 1

Shape it into patties and gently fry them in a little oil

Answer 2

Shepards Pie and Chips (french fires to us yanks) sounds great. I'm not sure how you make it but I...

Pie dough for double crust
pounds of lamb/beef mixed
peas
carrots
turnups (opitional)
potatoes
beef stock/broth
butter
flour.

I'm really bad with measurements but, I would lay the bottom crust down in the pie tin. Cut the veggies all the same size (the size of the green peas) and put them in the bottom of the pie with the meat. Add a few tablespoons of flour over the top and add the beef broth to about 1/2 way up and butter all over that. Cut some cute design in the top crust and bake untill the crust is golden brown.

You could also make Greek food for something different.
Mix the lamb and beef together with some finely minced onions. Season with salt, pepper, oregano and mint. Bake this as a loaf (like a tureen or an American meatloaf). While that is baking slice tomatoes and onions. Mix 1 cup of plain yogurt and 1/4 to 1/2 of a cucumber grated and some lemon juice (if you have any). Serve with you chips for a quick Gyros. (if you have any pita bread avalible, it's really good)

Answer 3

Shepherds pie is easy - just fry off some mince, onions ans carrots. Add an oxo cube to the mixture (or one of those sachets of Colmans Shepherds Pie mix) and a splash of Worchester sauce if you have it. Put in an ovenproof dish, cover with mashed potatoes and sprinkle cheese on top. Put in oven at 160 degrees for about 20 mins, until the cheese has melted and gone brown. Serve with fave veg - I like peas and sweetcorn with it.

Good on you giving your mum a break. She'll be so delighted !

Answer 4

Make a shepherds pie with Lamb mince but use 2 parts Sweet Potato to 1 part normal potato for the mash on top. You don't need to add any cheese. Healthy and delicious!

Answer 5

Spagetti Bolognaise.

Fry some onions and carrots up until soft. Add the minced beef and then cook until browned, add some mushrooms and a can of chopped tomatoes. Add some tomato puree and a splash of red wine, Then leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add herbs if you wish.

After 20 minutes serve on a bed of spagetti.

Answer 6

Lasagne. Brown the mince in a little oil. Put 2 oxo meat cubes in when mince is cooking (watch, this will make mince stick to pan a bit). Slice 1 green and red pepper, 10 or so mushrooms, 1 onion and chuck in. Add a pasta cube and some oregano. Add tinned of chopped tomatos. Let simmer for 15 mins or so. Set oven to 180C. Use jar of white lasagne sauce (much easier and quicker than making your own). Spread some white sauce onto bottom of dish, then lasagne sheets, then mince, then sauce, then lasagne, then sauce, then mince, then sauce, then lasagne, then sauce and grate good dose of cheese over top. Put in oven for 30mins. This sounds timely, but trust me, its not!!!!!!! I have a 22 month wee girl and I can make it not probs even with her running around. Honest!! Whats more, you can re-heat it (only once again), the next day. Ideal to have with chips or salad. Good luck!!

Answer 7

Season & cook the meat, boil some pasta, combine & add spaghetti sauce! Easy as 1 2 3! & yummy!

Its awesome that you want to give your Mother a break! Congrats on being a good daughter!

Good Luck with dinner! ;-)
