This savoury mince recipe is an easy dinner, comes packed full of veggies, and my kids absolutely love it!
Savoury mince makes me a little nostalgic – when I was younger I visited my Nan every Tuesday for dinner, and more often than not she served us savoury mince with mashed potato and vegetables. These days I often make my own kids savoury mince for dinner, although when I do I usually serve it on toast – that’s the great thing about this recipe, it’s so versatile!
It’s a super quick and easy dish to make – it only takes me 20 minutes to make.
I add in diced carrot, corn and peas, but you could use capsicum or zucchini if you like too.
This is a great meal idea for those nights you are needing a quick and easy dinner.
With the cold weather setting in, it’s a great time to start creating home-cooked meals like this one. For more hearty dinner ideas, be sure to check out my new cookbook!
