Beef Mince & Pea Stew

Budget-friendly beef mince is enhanced by a few simple spices and combined with peas, potatoes, carrots and tomatoes for a satisfying stew that your family will love. You’ll only need to put in about 20 minutes of work; the stove does the rest for you. What’s more, this one makes for great leftovers! I love to serve this with rice, which does an amazing job of soaking up the flavour from the stew, but you could easily call this a complete meal on its own.
