Beef Curry Mince

I use this curry mince mainly as a pie filling. It can also be used as a curry puff filling or just served simply with rice or bread.

Freezing the mince makes it really easy and quick when one feel like having pie for lunch. I freeze mine in 1/3 cup portion as this is the amount required in my pie maker.

Hi Sinner - hubby does not take beef so if I used chicken mince instead, do I use the rest of the ingredients as per normal?

Sinner said...

Family First - yes but adjust the salt to suit your own taste.
