I was a very busy mother when my children were young, and dinner needed to be quick & easy to prepare, and nutritious. This life-saving dish is so easy to prepare and my children loved it always. I used to cook it very often. Today I cooked it just for myself using ‘Very Versatile Cooked Mince & Onion’.
