Do you ever use your microwave for anything other than re-heating food? In general that’s me too, with the exception of this dish. It’s a recipe I often use and is courteous of my mum who first came across the recipe some years ago – I think I was still at college, so that makes it a good couple of decades old!
Ingredients:
Minced beef (500g or 250g packs work just as well!)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Tin of tomatoes
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 heaped tablespoon tomato puree
2 teaspoons chilli powder
Tin of red kidney beans, drained and washed (small or large, depending on amount of mince being used)
Method:
- Microwave the onion and garlic with the beef, cover on high for 5 minutes.
- Stir to break up the mince, and add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and chilli powder. Stir.
- Cover and microwave for 20 minutes on high, stirring after 10 minutes.
- Add red kidney beans. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
- Leave to stand for a few minutes and serve.
This dish is ideal for freezing and using for mid week lunches with jacket potatoes!
