Title states what I'm after - all you chefs out there, I'm after some inspiration for what I could do with some mince! It's had some carrots added to it and I need to make a meal out of it. I don't want to do it with just spaghetti or a jacket potato - too boring!

All suggestions welcomed :)
 
if its already got carrots in the answer has to be shepherds pie

mince
onions
garlic
bits of veg cut up small (usually finely grated carrot and a handful of peas)
thick gravy
seasoning
potato
butter

boil some potatos (then leave these alone whilst you fiddle with the mince)
fry your onions and garlic, until soft, add the mince - fry until all the liquid (fat) has seeped out - and then drain this off
add your bits of cooked veg
add your gravy
put into an over proof dish
now mash potatoes (with the butter and seasoning)
slop this on top of the mince concoction
bake until the mince bit is bubbling and the top is crispy and golden brown

easy! :)

I made home made burgers this evening.

Finely chop 1 whole onion and add it to mince.

Mix an egg in the mixture and some seasoning of choice.

Get it all mixed up nicely and shape into burgers and fry.

Give 4-5 minutes each side, then serve with some chunky chips on on dressed buns of choice.

Eat. Enjoy.
