Tesco frozen beef mince

Clowance

sainsburys lean scotch mince 500g currently on offer at 2 for £6 (it is very expensive, normally even worse at3.99 per pack) is brilliant. I dry fry it and NO fat comes out and it has a good texture. For economy reasons, we only use half a pack at a time to make spag bol for 2 adults and 2 young teens. HTH.

Like Fire Fox i have been mixing the best leanest mince i can afford with Quorn for years, i use half a bag of frozen Quorn to 500g of mince and use this as the equivalent of 1kg of mince once fried together you really can't tell.

It tasted...okay, but I couldn't stand the texture. I'm quite bad at not tasting with my eyes, but that said I do not think it was good quality.

I think it was a combination of bad quality Mince & the water it accumalated in the freezing process.
I remember as a kid, my Mum used to wash the Mince before she cooked it and it turned to mush as well.
I wash all Meat/Poultry, but i NEVER wash Mince - due to the fact that it turns to horrible mush.

I bought some of the tesco frozen mince when it was on offer a few months back and ended up having to feed it to the dog :eek:

Truly disgusting mush which, even when drained, tasted greasy. Def a false economy (dogs liked it though )

I tend to get the tesco lean minced beef when it is on the 2 for £4 offer and, like others said, drain the fat off.
