To add rich flavour to your Spaghetti Bolognese, Chilli Con Carne or Cottage Pie, crumble an Oxo Beef Cube into the mince whilst browning.

Serves 4

What you need

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 500g lean minced beef
  • 2 Oxo Beef Cubes
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • herbs, spices and seasonings to taste – see hints and tips
  • non-stick pan

How to make it

  1. Add the oil to a hot pan and sauté the onion for 2 minutes until just soft.
  2. Add mince to the pan and crumble in 2 Oxo Beef cubes then stir over a high heat until the mince is browned.
  3. Add a can of tomatoes and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the meat is cooked.
  4. Add the herbs, spices and seasonings you need to make your favourite Spaghetti Bolognese, Chilli or Cottage Pie at the same time as the tomatoes.

Hints and tips

  • To create your favourite bolognese add some dried mixed Italian herbs, for chilli con carne add some dried chilli powder and for a tasty cottage pie try adding a pinch of paprika.
  • For a vegetarian alternative brown some Quorn Mince in a pan and crumble over a vegetable stock cube but remember to reduce the cooking time to 15 minutes.
