Mines is Strange but its lovely:

500g Beef Mince
1packet of Colmans mix
Half a Large onion
Tin of Beans
2 large desert spoon fulls of Chilli powder ( strange i know but trust me) Try it you wont be dissapointed.

Whats yours?

that just sounds like chilli con carne to me?

My spag bol goes mince, onion, tinned tomato, tomato puree, oxo cube, herbs. sometime s put a chilli in there.

It always (and chill cc) takes much better the next day for some reason!

I always cook mine for ages, just about to start mine for tonight.

I always add bacon and chopped carrot with the onion, fry off the tomato puree before adding a splash of red wine and after adding the tomatoes,a dash of milk. Simmer for as long as poss.

2 large desert spoon fulls of Chilli powder??? that would blow the roof of my mouth off.


Mine is

1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 carrot, chopped finely
6 button mushrooms chopped
fry gently in a pan until softened.
Add 500 g of reduced fat minced beef
fry until meat is browned.
Add a good splash of red wine
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 carton of pasata with basil
1 beef stock cube, some dried oregano, salt & pepper
add some water if needed.
Simmer for about 20 - 30 minutes
At the last minute, chuck in plenty of ripped up fresh basil leaves.

Luvly jubly !!

Onion
Mince
beef stock cube
tin of tomatoes
tomato puree
garlic
Squeeze of tomato ketchup for sweetness.
Pancetta if I have it.

The basics as people have posted but with a few extras. Worcestor sauce and a bit of tabasco or cayenne. May a dash of balsamic to sweeten it up or a squeeze of tommy k.

If i'm using tinned tomatoes then I add dried oregano. If using a jarred sauce they usually have the herbs already in them.

I like to keep mine fairly simple:

Mustard seeds crackled in oil
Half an onion
Lean steak mince
Beef Oxo cube
Glug of decent red wine
Tin of tomatoes
Lots of dried oregano, maybe some marjoram

It's a shame you have to use beef stock to make it taste like beef, but oh well...

Chilli and vodka make a good spag bol.

Lean steak mince
Chopped Chicken liver
Streaky Bacon cut up
carrot chopped fine
Onion Chopped small
Domino Bolognese
1 Beef Oxo
Tin Chopped tomato
A Little Sugar
A Little Salt

Its how my family have always made it.

It's just how Ive always made it aswell.

Must say though it tastes better than friends one's that ive tried.

dash of worcester sauce works in it, always a whole tube of tom puree

I use them too I knew I missed some things when I was typing that out

Everything out the spice cupboard goes in, never have the same bol twice!

Fry Pancetta/lardons/chopped streaky bacon until crisp, remove from pan.

Fry off chopped onions, celery, carrot, garlic in bacon fat until soft; add steak mince and brown.

Add cooked pancetta/bacon, tomato puree, cornflour and fry for a couple of minutes.

Add dried oregano and basil, tomato/passata, red wine, beef stock. Season. Cook on very low heat for a couple of hours minimum.

Check seasoning. Add ripped basil leaves and chopped parsley. Serve!

ETA: Will add some chopped chilli if in the mood.

use cheap mince or normal mince that has more fat in it, fat is where the flavour is. You can always spoon the fat off later.

I use condensed tomato soup instead of tomato paste (my Mum's recipe).
It makes all the difference

i make mine with beef mince, pork mince and chicken livers. Plus smoked bacon lardons.

The onions, carrots and celery are all blended. Passata, star anise, oregano and red wine completes it and it all goes into the oven for a couple of hours

I'd be careful with that. Use "beef" mince rather than steak mince or get decent mince, not lean, that has good fat content.

I once used cheap mince, I think it was ASDA Smartprice, and it was pretty disgusting.

I make mine with soya mince, it needs a lot of help!

I'm taking notes Though I'm not sure I can be bothered with all this 'finely chopped' though, might be worth a try if I've got extra time.

I make mine with quorn mince, red and green peppers, an onion, tin of tomaoes (with juice drained out), tbsp of garlic and tomato puree, jar of Dolmio. And top it with grated cheese

Do you mean like baked beans?? Or Kidney beans? either way tres odd!!!

I brown some mince then add a diced onion and some garlic.

I then put in a big pot with tinned tomatoes, an Oxo cube, a generous splash of red wine, some tomato puree (or ketchup works fine), Oregano, Basil, chopped mushrooms, and fresh basil. I simmer ofr an hour, adding black pepper regularly.

It's always much tastier the next day

Oh dear.. getting ready for mine to get a bashing aswell!!

7/8..yes...7/8 cloves of garlic..

eeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

500g mince (decent stuff!!)
1 celery, onion & carrot
1 garlic
1 tin toms
1 glass red wine
1 glass milk
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
mushrooms

-fry the veg, then the mince
- add the wine and cook until evaporated, then do same with milk
-add toms, mush & thyme, cook 1.5 hours (very important)

Once when I was ill I made a total cheap/cheat version, where I cooked some fussili pasta, added a tin of tomato soup, loads of garlic and some corned beef. The corned beef turns to mush when hot.

I may have been ill but it was bloody delicious. Too afraid to serve it up again in case it was actually horrid, LOL.
