mix it with sausage meat and make a meat loaf. Burgers. Meatballs. Use it as the meat element in a stir fry. Chilli con carne.

baked potato or pizza... or burrito (bean and cheese and mince is my fave, with a big helping of salsa, guac or even sour creme)

For next time spag bol casserole is yummy. Fry onion, garlic, mince, add tomato puree, tom paste, 1/4 t cinnamon, mixed/italian herbs, bay leaf, salt & pepper. Simmer for a while then remove bay leaf. Add cooked spaghetti to dish, cover with meat then make white sauce with 2 cups milk (I add cheese) and spread on top. Sprinkle with cheese and cook 180 til bubbling. Yummy. Alison Holst's mince stroganoff is really enjoyed here too.

Chilli, spaghetti bolognaise, pasties (I know traditionally it's not mince but I always do), the list is endless. Go out and buy one of those cookbooks that are just about mince. Loads of ideas.

The Leggos Pasta Bake sauces are really nice (yes I admit I buy ready made sauces and eat carbs - shock!).Home made burgers are always a hit in our house too and my kids love Mexican food.

I make my favorite flavour mince and make little pies by using frozen Aunty Betty Yorkshire pudding case as the pie base, so yummy use small one's for the kids and large one's for adults.

I primarily use mince now for Wraps.Cook with grated carrot, some red kidney beans and then spoon a little onto a wrap with Humas, (choice of sauce BBQ, sweet Chilli etc) Capsicum, tomato, lettuce, grated cheese, yogurt then roll and eat.
My sister in law makes small pastries with it by cooking it with mixed veges and a little extra frozen corn then pacing a spoonfull or two in some puff pastry and cooking in the oven.
