charlie8005, have a look at:-

You'll find a real variety of options there.

Without meaning to be rude, can I suggest that you have a good mouthwash after your mince meal as the pieces of mince could lodge in the cavities in your gums and cause problems - I've got dentures so I've been there, done that with having raw gums; thankfully though one's mouth is usually a quick healing part of one's body, so I hope you heal well and soon. :-))

i like this one.
sort of a mincey curry sketti thing.

i just fry up the mince usual way with onions, garlic is you want, beef stock cube or a bit of soy sauce, pepper, curry powder, and a tin of spagetti. sometimes i put mashed potato on top and cheese and bake, or sometimes just like it is with grilled cheese on top.

Why not make a shepherds pie but cook until the carrot and other veggies are very soft and mash into the mince mixture, then top with mashed potatoes.
