Make me a nice pie

there's a thought, if he can't see it ..... Wicked smiley

soya mince can be used together with 'meat' mince - this helps bulk it out, and I don't think there is a taste difference. It's also cheap!!!!

grated carrot is really good for padding as well, like Rikki suggests and works in pasta sauces as well.

remember, you don't have to tell your boyfriend all the ingredients you have used. sometimes you are allowed to 'forget' to gauge his reaction....................:D

I do throw things in sometimes, but he's one of these people that 'inspects' his food :mad:

Nightmare!!!!! :eek: perhaps a blindfold - or switching the lights off?

He can inspect it all he likes but he will not see the stuffing when its mixed in with the mince, try it out with spag bol or something, you will see how the stuffing just disappears.

I grate a carrot into the mince this helps to make it go further.

I fry the onions and the mince, then add grated carrot and a stock cube then cook until the meat is tender. By his time the carrot is hardly visable. Then I add my gravy thickening and cook a little longer. Totally invisable carrot. :j
