Multi Mince

By krystallondon

My multi mince is different every time I make it depending as to what is in the house and what needs to be eaten. I also keep the veg chunky in it. We usually eat it with pasta one night, then the next night turned into something else with the addition of another ingredient. Be it kidney beans or mash to make a kind of shepherds pie. I also use the same mince recipe to make lasagna.

• 1 garlic clove
