This is what I found searching for Minced meat in American. :D
Beef that has been ground or finely chopped. The price of ground beef (also called hamburger) is determined by the cut of meat from which it was made and the amount of fat incorporated into the mix. High-fat mixtures are less costly but will shrink more when cooked. The least expensive product is sold as regular ground beef or regular hamburger. It's usually made with trimmings of the less expensive cuts such as brisket and shank, and can contain up to 30 percent fat. The moderately priced ground chuck is the next level of ground beef. Because it contains enough fat (about 15 to 20 percent) to give it flavor and make it juicy, yet not enough to cause excess shrinkage, ground chuck is the best meat for hamburgers. The leanest (around 11 percent fat) and most expensive of the ground meats are ground round and ground sirloin. Though they're great for calorie watchers, they become quite dry when cooked beyond medium-rare. Ground beef is sold fresh and frozen, prepackaged in bulk (usually 1 to 5 pounds) or in preformed patties. It may also be ground to order. The way it is used determines how the beef should be ground. In general, the finer the beef is ground, the more compact it will be when cooked. For instance, firm-textured combinations such as meatloaf or meatballs should be made with beef that has been ground at least 2 or 3 times. For hamburgers, however, where a light, juicy texture is preferable, the beef should be coarsely ground. Ground beef should be lightly wrapped before storing in the coldest section of the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To freeze, shape into individual patties or a large, flat disk and wrap with freezer-proof packaging. It can be frozen up to 6 months. See also beef; hamburger. |

Slightly off-topic, sort of, but you know, this is really a good idea for an on-going thread. With the state of the economy, I know plenty of people are looking for less expensive ways to feed the family, without sacrificing flavor, nutrition, etc.
Heck, I've been looking up all kinds of casserole etc recipes lately, trying to stretch the old food budget dollar. I never used to think about it before, but it's becoming necessary. |

Thats very true. We all need to save money these days. So the cheaper the food, the better the mood, right..? But this recipe is very good. And I only did it by mistake, and it happens to be very popular amongst my friends and their girlfriends. So I thought I'd share.

Its food cream, not sour cream. Its kinda like whipped cream but used for food and you dont freaking whip it. dl=deciliter: a metric unit of volume equal to one tenth of a liter 400grams is this = 0.881849049 pounds. So do I need to cook it for you as well? I'm not from America or UK sweetheart, so if you want the recipe in American or UK measures, search the measures and meats online. its just that simple. =) Don't mean to sound harsh, but not all use the same measures around the world. And I use Grams and KG and DL |
