Another favourite with kids (big and small!)
PORCUPINES
480 gms lean Topside Mince1 Onion, finely diced 4 tsp. Beef Stock120 gms uncooked Rice (pref. long grain) 1 tin WW Tomato Soup200 mls Water
Combine mince, onion, stock and rice then form into 16 balls.
In a large pan, mix liquids and bring to the boil. Gently add the meat balls and cook on a rolling boil for 30 minutes. (Keep an eye on this mixture – sometimes needs further water added.)
Have to 'fess I don't use the WW soup, rather the rich concentrated one. As the rice cooks it makes the 'spikes'.

Oh I know what you mean! My little boy loves it but hard to know what to do with it! Nacho, Taco, spag bol, shepards pie, good ol mince in mashed spuds and meat loaf is all I know how to do.

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.

Don't even have a recipe just mince an egg a few tsp of flour chopped herbs from the garden some crushed garlic and a finely diced onion mix it all up with salt and pepper lay in a laf pan and set the boiled eggs in and cover over with the mince brush some tomato paste across the top and bake at 150 for an hour. Mum used to add sausage meat as well but I don't.

Well I'm making meatballs in ginger sauce.mmmm. It uses gingernuts in the sauce and is nice for a change.
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.
