sloppy joes, isnt it just like a burger in a bun but with mince instead of a burger hence the sloppy!

Ive never heard of this, so just looked it up and discovered that its something I made a few months back thinking I was being really original and that I made it up myself!! I didnt know it was already an established dish.

haha Puddy! Well done on the recipe. I like when that happens.

I have very generously been given by my gran, wait for it - 8kgs! of minced beef.

I myself don't eat mince, so it's only my husband who will be eating it.
I want to have a 'cooking day' and get it all prepared into meals, instead of just freezing the lot into portions.

Unfortunatly for me i can't think besides the obvious what to do with it. It's alot of meat so i don't want it to be samey.

I can think of -
Cottage Pie
chilli
Mince and onions {for pies, stews etc}
burgers
meat balls
bolenase
meat loaf maybe? {the only type of meat loaf i have made was haslet, so would need a recipe}


ummmm as you can see not very varied ...help!

You haven't mentioned lasagne, or what about stuffed pancakes or canelonni or shish kebabs? The different herbs and spices should stop it tasting too samey.

This is a great Meatloaf recipe it is a firm favourite in my family http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/moms_hockey_puck_88058

What about wee pies just short crust pastry bottom and top with mince in middle would be good for packed lunches.
