anyone got any basic 'recipes' for mince? i'm talking wanting to pretty much eat mince+ rice. but obviously browning some mince and chucking it on rice isnt going to taste great. I did once try and do a mince stir fry and I didn't like it. texture of the mince was a little chewy too.

main reason for wanting something so ordinary? as an easy way of tracking macros (calories).
Phat Kaphrao is a very easy Thai mince dish, with chillies and basil. It's delicious. It works with minced pork/chicken/beef too.

If you want to cut the calories down, you can serve it in gem lettuce leaves, and skip the rice. :-)

Try this one, looks like a good blend of authenticity and easy/quick method.

It’s pork mince rather than beef mince but that was delicious.

Stupid iPad! Err, you might need to cook it upside down. :-)

There you go! It’s really easy, just add soy sauce and ketjap manis after you’ve fried it off.

Korean Beef Bulgogi, which you can make with mice, and add some veg like green beans or peppers to give some more texture to it. Do a search and you can find simplified versions of it without harder to find Korean ingredients.
Thought they preferred Dogs?

The problem is that when it put a whole packet in the pan it kills the temps, all the water comes out of it and you end up just boiling it until the water has boiled off.

Small batches is the way forward but, ‘ain’t nobody got time fo dat’
If you haven't worked out how to separate mince from water you need to take some serious life lessons!
