  • I have some minced buffalo (which incase you haven't tried it, is very similar to beef only waaay better!) which I want to cook tonight but fancy something different to the usual cottage pie I always end up making with mince. Would love some suggestions, I am slightly limited on other ingredients so here is what else I have:

    potatoes
    onions
    garlic
    carrots
    sprouts
    a few small tomatoes
    bread
    pasta and spaghetti
    noodles
    tinned tomatoes
    tinned kidney beans
    Various dried herbs and spices and all the usual storecuboard basics

    Any ideas gratefully appreciated!
  • Also, I should mention I had burgers last night so don't want them 2 nights in a row! Also, I have rice in the cuboard, as well as cous cous.

    Hi,

    I'd say you can do anything with any type of mince that you can do with any other.

    In my receipe book, the title of which is Mince, it calls for Turkey curry mince, just an example of somethine you wouldn't think off.

    I see you have kidney beans. I'd be making a chilli and serving it with rice or baked potatoes.

    spag bol
    chilli
    mince with carrots and onions, served with mash
    cottage pie type thing (mince, onions, carrots, bit of tomato, worcerstershire sauce if you have it) topped with scallop potatoes ?

    Encouragement always works better than judgement.

  • Was also going to suggest spag bol or chilli.

    Do you have eggs? Could you make meatballs maybe?

    You could use any recipe with red peppers, just leave them out or substitute with another veg :)
