Veggie mince.. depends what kind. If cooking from dry, put it in early. The earlier the better, to get rid of that cardboard flavour. If it's canned Casserole Mince, put it in late. I love that stuff. It's wacky, it shouldn't be food, it's a bit of a sometimes thing for us, but I love it when we have it.

Yes you can freeze stuff after it has been cooked in a sauce. Bean purees and hommus freeze quite well too.

Enjoy!

Ummm it was just in a packet in the cold section of the super market, only 300g's going into the chili mix. It will mostly be lentils and kidney beans. Wanted to give it a try.

Also is there are a vegan alternative to sour cream? Or does it suck? lol

Tofutti do a sour cream and a cream cheese- you can buy the cream cheese in the cheese spread fridge section of Coles and Woolies. I've only ever seen Tofutti sour cream in health food shops or an online store called the cruelty free shop.
