Eeek help!!
I was going to do some porcupine ball things tonight - but forgot my mum had taken my only casserole dish - so I have nothing to put it in!!!!
I don't have any spag bog sauce (or pasta!) to do spaghetti bog.
Any other things I can do that are reasonably quick and easy!!! Have to have it ready for the kids too (so can't be too spicy for miss m)
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Ummm, what about asian style meatballs and fried rice? Easy and quick as.My kids both love it.
I just add garlic, coriander, sweet chilli sauce to the mince and then cook them in a fry pan (i put the lid on to start with, kinda steams them a bit and makes the outside kinda...I dunno, kinda sticky but really tasty!).
Fried rice just cook the rice, add whatever diced vegies you want, some soy sauce, beaten egg or two, bacon, done.
meatballs/ rissoles.... add whatever you like!!
How about a shepherd's/cottage pie
Just fry some onion, add the mince and some different sauces - worcestershire, tomato, bbq, add some diced carrots peas. Top with some mashed potato and grated cheese. (not as good as baking it though I guess)
If you've got some puff pastry, you could just do some savoury mince pasties.
What about taco's or burritos?
Savoury mince with noodles?
Jacket potatoes with mince?
I do my porcupines in a big shallow saucepan on the stove - just simmer them for about 1/2 hour in a tin of tomato soup and equal amount of water.
Savoury mine served with whatever you like...mash, rice, or on toast. :D
Hmm what if you don't have coriander? I can do the rice - not a problem.
Hey, what if I just mix up the mince in the rice and add vegies.. is that doable? Would it even be nice.. LOL
Yep, you can cook savoury mince and rice together.. my lot prefer it seperate though...;)
What about making some small meatballs (fry them up). Cook some pasta. Throw over a can of chopped tomatoes and the meatballs. Add cheese and VOILA!
+1 foe the shepards pie. takes about 30 min.
i brown the mince, add bbq tomate whorcteshire sauce some gravy and herbs loits of veggies frozen ones ok :D
then top with mash and cheese then under teh rgill for 10 min to brown adn crip, kids love it
also we make rissoles, DS loves helping make these. egg mince vegg onion bread crumbs done make minni ones fry them in a fry pan and bam some veg or salad and quick dinner.
do u have a tin of tomateos? and some dried herbs? and some brown sugar? and tomate paste?
if so home made bol :D
mix it all in just like u do with a bottle of pre made stuff and serve on rice.
we do that when i have been lazy or when we only have bow ties or spirals,
ooh I can do rissoles - they'd be like salmon patties yes? I've done them before but not rissoles.
I'm so uneducated with cooking.. LOL
yeh just mix everything in a bowl, then make balls how ever big you want like salmon pattys
really easy once you make one batch you wont stop
ut dont forget the egg and some flour or bread crumbs to help it stick together.
Yup yup will give it a go.
Thanks guys!!!!
good luck
want to hear how it goes.
you can add tomate or bbq sauce into aswell.
we do this so more flavour for teh kids.
also a good way to hide veggies.
i just remembere dad used to grate carrot into it yumm
Whoops. DIdn't have bread crumbs so had to use weetbix crumbs.
and forgot to add any sauces ... ROFL... and they are all done up in their nice little balls now.
Whoops! Ohhh well..
good improvising
nice work :D
thtas ok they can add sauce later
I was going to have spag bog tonight, but i've talked myself into savoury mince pasties now lol.
hope you enjoy your rissoles :)
