Mince beef - help (if you are an experienced cook only read for humour)

I would not put frozen beef in slow cooker. let it defrost in the fridge overnight & fry it in a.m. If you have some nutmeg add a teaspoon as you brown the meat..will add flavour to make up for lack of onion! Got any wine /dark beer? If so add a glass (or two) to the slow cooker. Good luck!

A good teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce is also good if you don't have any beer - or mushroom ketchup. Depends what you have to hand!

thank you so much nanej and anagram this really helps
i have now defrosted the beef on very lowin the microwave and wil fry it up without onion but am looking in my store cupboard for nutmeg and worcestershire sauce if i have it ... i am desperate but in truth i dont have the time in the evening (tues evening) too busy making my three babies dinners when they get back from nursery so if i get get something in slow cooker to turn on 6aam tomrrow hurrah

My mother in law used to age half a packet of sage and onion stuffing to mince - it tasted surprisingly good. Redcurrant jelly and Worcestershire sauce are my standbys for flavour. Sure it will be lovely.

Another timehave a go at adding a jar of tomato based pasta sauce for an easy meal. defrosting overnight is a good idea.

Whitworths make packets of dried onions to store in your cupboard so you don't have to chop just pop in and you don't need to be without again.Enjoy your dinner tonightxx

You can also get bags of frozen chopped onions fom most supermarkets!

This is a really way of spicing up some mince if you have no time and is really cheap and cheerful,put mince defrosted mince into bowl add some sage and onion mix crumble in oxo and good pinch black pepper/salt chop up onion and bind together with an egg good handful of any flour and roll into sausage shape cut into portions and make into burger shape's cook slowly for 8mins each side serve with new pots or mash and any fresh veg,you can spice it up a bit with pepper sauce,takes 1/2hr tops.Any left over can be frozen I always make about 10/12 at a time so always have something in that I know the family like.
