^ Cheers.

Tonight the shark biscuits will be dining on mac n cheese and chicken rissoles . I made these rissoles on the weekend and they scoffed them so made another batch, will give em a couple each to go with the mac n cheese

These bad boys are easy to make and you can hide veggies in them to trick the fussy coont
500 kg chicken mince
1 zucchini, grated
1 carrot grated.
1/2 a sweet potato grated
1/2 onion grated
2 tsp curry powder
Dash of salt
1 tsp pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
Mix thoroughly and make into patties slowly pan fry.

Popped it in a cassarole dish with mottzerrella and chedder and its in the oven now for 20 minutes. We will see soon the reaction of the kids

Cant fuck up a mac n cheese surely? Mind you its the first time ive cooked it, ive really led a sheltered life

It was a resounding success, kids loved it, i thought it wasnt as cheesy as it could of been will tweek the recipe next time. Bunged a bit of gravy on the rissoles that i had in the freezer made from the stock left over from my lambshanks in the slowcooker a while back, yummo.

Sorry BLD, but being a bit of a mac n cheese aficionado, that's a hard no from me.

Fair enough , i like a decent one to, i,ll crack on and try another recipe or tweek that one. Google is my friend. Its lucky the nippers have never had a GOOD one to compare it with. They like the instant ones from costco

Nevermind, im sure we
/ they can turn it into a Turd.

More practice needed i think, pretty chuffed that the oldest bloke scarfed the chicken rissoles though with the hidden veg, usually he will only eat potato.

Didnt the pasta go kind of "gloopy"? Try Dirk's way, bet both you and the boys will be impressed.

Yep will do something different next time, i went with the slow cooker because basicly im a lazy [at][at][at][at] , but i reckon the slow cooker has no business cooking mac n cheese. Ah well , baby steps. I wish i had of picked my ma,s brain for the info but shes long gone, i struggle to replicate her mince n tatties which were world class

It was well gloopy. Im definately giving the slow cooker method a miss, actually the recipe called for 1.5 hours on high but i turned it of at 1 hour, because of the gloopiness, anyway it seemed to pass muster with the kids, but yes i will lift my game.

I cant even put it into the drunk food section because that was about lunchtime when i started that. And i didnt start drinking until 3.00

Between dirk and chitty im sure i,ll get the hang of it

There's your problem.

Even a shitload of crispy bacon went into it but alas. Wasted effort, still, the kids ate it. Not sure if they ate it knowing that its as good as gets after the meatball fuck up they got served last night.

There was a corner of the kitchen counter in our house that was out of bounds because that was where I sat while my cooked when I was growing up.

Mince n tatties. We always opted for the course mince in our house. My grandma used fine mince or ground beef you might call it. I think course is better as it's good to get a bit of chew instead of just drinking it.

I think we ate mince 3 or 4 times a week at one point until I made an official protest that I just didn't like it and refused to go there. I managed to hold that up for around 2 years before I crumbled.

There's no such thing as bad mince n tatties.

Don't forget the peas.
