Need some ideas for using lamb mince for dinner, had spag bol yesterday so don't fancy meatballs with spagetti which is my usual dish with lamb mince. just did a quick shope yesterday after getting back from my hols so didn't really plan properly. Also gotta be toddler friendly too so not overly spicy.

Hope u have some great sugesstions out there for me . Thanks

Why don't you make some mild lamb kebabs - just mix the lamb up with some chopped onion, mint, cumin and any other spices your little one will eat.
Then make sausage shapes and stick around a skewer and grill.

Or a shepherds pie would be nice too...

lazy garlic is brilliant! i love it! even better, though, is the frozen pre-chopped garlic from ASDA - cheaper, and you get LOADS of it! Plus it doesn't take up room in your fridge/cupboard! Hard to find in some asda stores but worth its weight in gold!

Quite often buy the pre-chopped frozen onions now as well, as i hate smelly hands, knocks me sick when i go to do my make up the morning after i've been cooking! xxx
