3 inspired recipes using mince — If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times, there’s no ingredient that works quite as hard as mince. But if you’ve mastered your Bolognese, and you’re tired of chilli con carne, here are three fast recipes using mince that we bet you haven’t tried yet.

Not to be confused with any old cottage pie, this potato-topped beef pie is anything but boring. The addition of dill and feta keeps everything light and satisfying – meaning you can make this for both summer and winter dinners.
