I cheat and use frozen mixed veges but carrot and onion is fine too. crumble mince with your hands so you dont end up with clumps. Cover with water, add salt and about a dessert spoon of curry (just to add flavour, not to be hot) Just boil for an about an hour and thicken with a little flour and water (previously mixed well) Cornflour makes it jellified I also add a little bit of pumpkin I have cooked in the microwave and mashed.

Brown off mince and onion. Add, worcester sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, beef stock cubes, mixed vege. Add water just to 3/4 of the mixture. simmer for 15 or so mins. Thicken with little flour mixed with water till a good consistency. Eat with mashed spuds. Even better the next day on your toast.yummm.

Mince on toast was (and still is) one of my favourite childhood meals.My grandma used to make it for me when I used to go and stay with her and she would have it gently simmering away on the stove most of the day, it was so good.It is those things that make memories, my grandma passed away seven years ago.

thanks everyone. Got the mince on now. Haven't had this in about 15 years so pretty excited! Definitely will have leftovers on toast tomorrow. Tonight will have with some mash and corn. Just like mum used to make.

A good pinch of mixed herbs or thyme adds a lovely savoury smell and taste. Like when you walk down the street around lunch time and get a lovely 'whiff' from a nearby resaurant. Mmmmm

That's how I do it too, but with fresh carrots and only frozen peas.Leftovers on toast last night - real comfort, childhood food for me.

I like to thicken the mince and veges with a sachet of rich dark gravy mix and also a hearty beef cup of soup mix in with a little bit of flour and mix with water.Very tasty!Don't season with salt if using these as I think they have enough in the mixes.

A funny story about mince "like mother used to make".My sister in her teens hated it.Some time after she was married Mum found her in the butchers one day buying mince.Mum said "I thought you hated mince" The answer "It's cheap Mum!"I wish we could say the same today!
