  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups frozen vegetables (peas, corn, and carrot)

Meat and Seasoning

  • 500 grams (16 oz) beef mince
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

Liquids and Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 400 grams (14 oz) tomato puree
  • 2 beef stock cubes, crushed
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water

Garnish

  • Parsley, stems removed and leaves finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Add the diced onion and frozen vegetables to the slow cooker insert. This forms the base of your savory mince, providing both texture and flavor.
  2. Add Beef and Seasoning: Next, add the beef mince along with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. These seasonings will infuse the meat with aromatic and savory tastes.
  3. Add Liquids and Flavorings: Pour in the tomato puree, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, crushed beef stock cubes, and water. These ingredients create a rich sauce that will meld all flavors during cooking.
  4. Stir Ingredients: Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture thoroughly to break up any clumps of mince and combine everything evenly in the slow cooker bowl.
  5. Cook: Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4 hours. After cooking, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting. Remove the lid and stir gently to combine the flavors.
  6. Serve: Spoon the savoury mince onto toasted bread slices or serve it over cooked rice. Garnish with finely chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Provide forks and spoons for easy eating.
