Mince and Potato Bake

 

 

*Tried and Tested*

Yum!  Everyone loved it.  Even the littlies really liked it and usually if the little guys like it then that's a plus.  I forgot to put the mushrooms in though LOL but I did put some frozen peas,corn and carrot in.  Very filling and makes a fair bit which is great for us...a couple of the kids went for seconds.  I even made my you beaut cheese sauce again to go in it.

All in all a very yummy and hearty dish.
