Minced Beef and Onions

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 brocolli.  It won’t win any beauty pagents but as a warm and hearty meal it went down a treat with my family. I will be making this a regular for those chilly evenings as an alternative to Spag Bol and Chilli con Carne!
