Tasty mince recipe

This basic mince is a good standby to have in the freezer and defrost on the nights when you don’t feel like cooking. 

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 stick celery, finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper (capsicum), deseeded, finely diced
• 1 green bell pepper (capsicum), deseeded, finely diced
• 1kg lean beef mince
• 400g can chopped tomatoes

Method:

1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and red and green capsicum. Cook for 3 minutes or until soft.
2. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned.
3. Add tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until thick.
4. Use immediately or allow to cool completely then freeze for up to 3 months in a container just large enough to hold mince.
