    Sorry, as this is old-style I should have mentioned that you can always water down your mince with vinegar, the king of all condiments.

    would this have an effect on the taste though :confused:

    Hi

    Normally buy lamb mince from Asda (500g £1.31) normally use half a bag for the 3 of us etc in/for a meal. Noticed yesterday at Aldis, that they have a 1kg bag of lamb mince for £1.99 :eek: thats 4 meals for us.

    Has anyone tried this one? The Asda one is fine and ideal for shepards pie/chilli/ spagbol/savoury mince etc.

    Thanks
    xx

    it will be fine as you have not just thawed and refrozen, this is bad. but changed the structer through cooking and so can be frozen once more

    Don't eat chilli, but can't see why not!

    And yes, as long as it is cooked when you re-freeze it, and you DON'T re-freeze it again!
