Mince is the perfect ingredient. Cheap, versatile and easy to cook with, it's a cost-effective way to create lots of delicious midweek meals.

Savoury spiced meatballs in a creamy, velvety sauce... without the schlep to Ikea. Since lingonberry jam can be hard to come by, we love serving them with a quick homemade cranberry sauce.

Bolognese is so much more than just a meat sauce. It’s the ultimate way to transform a package of minced beef into something show-stopping. When the temperature starts to drop, what sounds better than pasta smothered in rich, hearty, umami-bomb bolognese? NOTHING.

Cottage pie is essentially a shepherd's pie but with beef. It's a meat pie, filled with beef and topped with cheesy mashed potatoes. YUM. The sauce we use is super simple. We sauté veggies, beef, and thyme, add stock and red wine, then simmer the mixture.

Don't worry, you can still dip them in guac.

This is a chilli recipe that you can make on a weeknight in under an hour. Lots of other recipes call for simmering for at least an hour, sometimes even more! The reality of that is tough, so we've perfected this chilli to be done in just 40 minutes.

Waiting for a big pot of water to boil is the worst. (We kinda believe that watching it actually makes it take longer.) In this baked pasta, there is no boiling. The tortellini magically bakes in the bolognese until it's perfectly cooked!

We took a couple of shortcuts for this recipe by using shop-bought pasta sauce and boxed pasta sheets. It saves a ton of time without sacrificing any flavour. We think it's absolutely perfect as-is, but also understand some people are looking to make sauce from scratch.

More meat. Less carbs.

We love the fact that EVERYTHING in this recipe cooks in one skillet—the beef, the sauce, and the macaroni. Once you cook pasta this way, you'll never go back to boiling water again.

The bell pepper is an excellent vessel for stuffing meat, rice, and, of course, cheese. It's strong enough to hold its shape in the oven, and the flavour is subtle enough to go well with just about anything. This is our favourite recipe but the customisation options are endless.

You've heard of egg-in-a-whole toast before, but this is a whole new level. It instantly becomes the most Instagrammable dinner.

Get the Egg-In-A-Hole Burgers recipe.

Empanadas are perfect little pockets of cheesy beef. The dough bakes (or air fries!) into a golden flaky crust that shatters beautifully. We filled ours with a classic beef mixture, but you could fill yours with chicken or even beans and rice for a vegetarian version.

A good meatball should be packed with flavour and tender throughout. Although the process can be a labour of love, making them from scratch is really easy.

We're all for a genius low-carb hack — and these tomatoes totally deliver. We had never thought to stuff them with taco meat, cheese, and sour cream, but we'll do anything in the name of ditching a tortilla for a low-carb meal.

When the weather outside is frightful, nothing satisfies our craving for comfort food quite like a good shepherd's pie. This turkey version is surprisingly light and SO easy to make. If you'd like to bulk it up with more veggies, frozen corn and/or frozen peas are a great addition!
