Minced Beef and Onions is traditional British comfort food, simple and delicious!
With the unseasonably warm weather coming to an abrupt end this week my husband requested this comforting dish which his mother used to make.
In her version she would serve it in a ring of cooked marrow with potatoes and vegetables. This is my take on Minced Beef and Onions which I served in a jacket potato with courgettes (in a nod to the marrow), carrots and broccoli. In Scotland I believe it’s known as Minced Beef and Tatties!
Minced Beef and Onions won’t win any beauty pageants but it’s hot and hearty meal that went down a treat with my family. It’s also a great dish to make a double portion of and freeze for another day. I will be making this a regular for those chilly evenings as an alternative to Spaghetti Bolognese or Chilli con Carne!

Mince ‘n tatties, though it wouldn’t be a baked potato, usually mashed.

This isn’t Mince & Tatties, I was trying to recreate the Mince and Marrow (it was actually stuffed) that my MIL used to make for my husband as a kid and paid lip service to that with the courgette when marrow wasn’t available. I’m sure people will serve this with mash too:-) Having a Danish mother this dish was not something I’d ever had in my childhood.
