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 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 down a treat with my family. I will be making this a regular for those chilly evenings as an alternative to Spagetti Bolognese and Chilli con Carne!
