How to thicken savoury mince
There are a few different ways that you can thicken savoury mince. One way is to add some flour to the mince while it is cooking (this is what I did). Add the flour and fry for 1 minute before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Another way is to add some breadcrumbs to the mince. Finally, you could add some mashed potato to the mince. All of these methods will help to thicken the mince and make it more delicious.
Slow cooker savoury mince and vegetables
One of my favourite winter go-to recipes is savoury mince. It’s hearty and filling and can be easily made in the slow cooker. Simply follow instructions 1 and 2 and then add the flour and fry for 1 minute. Then it’s just a matter of throwing everything into the slow cooker and letting it cook for 5 hours. The result is a deliciously savoury mince that can be served with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables or even on its own. And best of all, it’s an easy and energy-efficient way of cooking that will leave your kitchen smelling amazing. So why not give it a try next time you’re looking for a quick and tasty winter meal?
