Savoury Mince with Vegetables and Noodles

I love a meal that ticks all the boxes and this is one of them.

It’s tasty. Tick.

It’s versatile. Tick. I can adjust it according to what I have in the fridge.

One pot. Tick. Less washing up is always a good thing.

Healthy and full of veggies. Tick.

Cheap. Tick.

And it makes wonderful comfort food on cold winter nights and even as leftovers for lunch the next day. 

You can use any mince you like; I like to use kangaroo mince. It is lean, ‘grass-fed’ and high in iron. It’s a little pricier than beef mince, which is why I only use a little bit of each meal and stretch it with lots of veggies.

For me, savoury mince says cabbage…mmm, cabbage… but use whatever vegetables you have on hand.

You can leave the noodles out if you like and serve it with rice or some crusty bread or just on toast, which is how we ate savoury mince as a kid.

I go light on the curry powder so the kids will eat it, but add as much as you enjoy.
