Fry a load of Minced beef, with onions, garlic, courgettes and peppers. and keep a small amount raw (for the pasties)
Lasagne
Add a can of tomatoes to the cooked meat, a beef stock cube and some basil and oregano to the above layer some of the above mixture between lasagne sheets, and make up a cheese sauce from elf cheese, skimmed milk and a little mustard powder. pour over the top, and freeze.
Spag bol
Freeze some left over lasagne sauce to use as spag bol.
Chilli Con Carni
Mix some lasagne sauce with tinned beans (cooked kidney beans are good), and stir in some chilli to taste. then freeze
Cornish pasties
mix the raw meat and veg mix with chopped potatoes. take some pastry, and roll about 5mm thick. Using a breakfast bowl to cut out circles (use a cup for kid sized portions). brush with beaten egg or milk, and pop the raw mixture onto half of each circle. fold over, and press edges. then baste the whole pasty with egg or milk. then bake for 10 minutes.
If you have any remaining mixture you can also make the following.
Beef burgers
Blitz the above raw meat mixture with a little beaten egg, Cajon pepper and make into burgers. (if you make the burgers into a ball first, push your thumb into the middle to make a hole, you can then fill with a little elf cheese, and bacon bits), then seal the hole and flatten. freeze between greased paper sheets.
Meatballs
Follow same recipe as burgers, but roll into golf sized balls (great if served with the pasta sauce, and spaghetti). always refrigerate mixture for at least 1 hour before frying,
Cottage pie
Use the above meat mixture, and add a gravy stock cube, some cubed carrot, peas, Worchester sauce and simmer in a little water. place into a bag and place in pie dish. top with mashed potato and seal the bag. (remove pie dish once frozen).
