Budget-friendly Beef Bowl
There’s lots to love about this Beef Bowl. It’s super-quick and easy to make, it uses budget-friendly beef mince, and you can reduce food waste by using up bits and pieces that are in the fridge. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add whatever extra vegetables or herbs you like to the base recipe and make it your own. We used capsicum but you could add carrot, mushrooms, peas, corn, sweet potato, pumpkin, parsnip, spinach, tomato, beans, potato or anything else that you have on hand.
