I was a step mum , its not the easiest job in the world and I think it is lovely that you said those nice things about your step mum. If my step kids had said something like that about me I would have been over the moon. I bet she is very proud of you. 😀
I was a very damaged young boy. I didn't have stability and I didn't know what was going on. My world was upside down and I couldn't make sense of anything. I can see now how difficult it might have been for her. I remember actually a time when she came to my school and gave me a Cadburys chocolate bar. It was so unusual to me at the time, but I know now that she was just trying to build a relationship.
I make this quite often, and the whole family enjoy it. I use any leftovers to make little pies the next day, and they always taste fantastic. My son who never cooks, has started to use the leftover mince to make toasted sandwiches for his lunch the next day. Its basic, healthy cooking.
Savoury mince is superb British comfort food, and you have done it great justice here Adam. I totally agree with you on the Soapbox section. Negative people like those are neither use nor ornament, more to be pitied than blamed. Shared, like good food should be 😋👍🌟
Cheers Pete. It just irritated me that just because it's not got 400 ingredients and isn't pretty looking that somehow it's not good food. A generation was brought up on good home cooked healthy food like this.
Corned Beef Hash also doesn't looks good, but it tasts just fantastic. I like it most with pickled gurkens or Beet Red, here in Germany sweet and sour. It's comfort food at it's best.
Keep on your soapbox m8y. We all start out somewhere in the kitchen. As a single bloke I batch cook a lot, but I do love to return to the British basics. This dish lends itself to a pie, cobbler, cottage pie, carrots and mustard/cheesy mash. Keep up the good work, Times are hard and cooking is a real skill to have.
First of all, british food isn't bad, it's delicous. I love it most! All the Pork Pies, cottage Pie, Beefstew and Dumplings, Scotch Eggs, Apple Pie and Custard etc,etc. It's simple and real food without Chichi. That is why i like so much your way of cooking. And you always keep an eye on the costs. Comfort food does not have to be expensive, you proof it in your recipes. Go forward with your Channel, it's brilliant. Warmest regards from Germany!
This is not meant to be an emotional post but one of a long search to perfection. My mum, who passed many years ago, made the perfect minced beef. We had it with mashed potatoes peas and maybe carrots. And the leftovers next day, she turned it into a curry and rice. I’ve never been able to replicate her recipe for the mince, but to be honest, I haven’t tried enough. Her final result for the mince recipe was very dark in colour, I think she must of used beef oxo cubes, and the consistency was slightly thick. Your video had lots of good tips that gave me ideas I can work on. Thank you.
You'll probably find that your Mum cooked the mince a lot longer than today's recipes tell you to. My mom and I always have people commenting on how tender and dark the mince is and we couldn't understand it, until we realised that we cooked our mince for a much longer period of time. The secret is to make sure that you almost *_oversear_* the mince before adding the liquid and allowing to slow cook on a simmer for a long time. I could go into a lot more detail, but that's the gist of it... Hopefully this answers your question...
Hi Adam, we all love comfort food no matter where we come from. For my family it was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas. I will be making this for my husband and I soon after Christmas and let you know how it turns out. It looks delicious. Have a Merry Happy Christmas from across the pond. We are having a mild winter so far here in Chicago.
Looks good. As a young and poor teacher, I often made something similar, but I added cream cheese and sour cream. Served over cheap noodles. Ground beef used to be cheap, not anymore! Audio is just fine.
I loved this video. Sub'd. And simple savoury mince was something that I also grew up with, as we didn't really have a lot of money either! Simple, comforting and delicious indeed! XX
That looks really good, and I'm glad you did the taste test. I make a few versions of this, but I've never made crispy potatoes. I hope she didn't stop making food for her and her family, people can be horrible. 😊
Love this dish used to have it like you on weekends when I was growing up in N. Ireland. I now live in Canada,made it ,loved it,great memories in my grans home with the smell of this cooking.Thankyou,and your right about the haters,could they use this wasted energy into something positive🇨🇦🇬🇧👍
Love mince and onions, my Mum used to make this but she’d serve it with rice. Every now and again I get a craving for this and my cravings have started so guess I’ll be making this for myself yum yum yum.
Looking very good bud One of my favourite dishes I make mine in slow cooker and freeze for the rest of the week So just bung in oven with bit extra gravy Yummy
Hi Adam, greetings from Sydney, Australia, and it's great to see you back! My Mum used to make savoury mince for us every now and then, and I don't remember her ever putting peas in. However, having said that, we didn't usually have potatoes with it either: in Australia, we mostly eat it on toast. I've made a couple of different Aussie versions of this, (one of which *DOES* actually include peas), and you're quite right: it's tasty, filling and very comforting. Stay safe and well, Adam. I'm sorry to hear about your recent problems, and I sincerely hope that you're recovering well. Best wishes from Australia, mate!
Thank you for this lovely recipe it brings me back amazing memories with my grandmother. Now I am from Caribbean descent and I love spicy well season food. I was brought up on both British food and Caribbean and I would like to say I love and appreciate both. I make this dish for my children and I add Beef suet dumplings. I then serve it with some British roast potatoes. Only ignorant idiots will comment that this food is not seasoned. This dish is beautifully seasoned with salt pepper mixed herbs and all the lovely flavoured veg that you add to it. If food from every country taste the same then food would be very boring. I appreciate food from all walks of life and I fully appreciate that I can feed myself and my family. ( I forgot to say my grandmother was a white beautiful British lady)
Good food doesn't know any borders. My aunt made this dish very often with minced Pork, because it's cheaper here in Germany than minced Beef, in a savory sauce. We had it with boiled potatoes, which we kneaded in the sauce. As sidedish we had cucumber salad with sour cream dressing. Omg memories can be so mouthwatering😋😀
I love this video and plan to make this ASAP. I enjoyed your soapbox as I’m a Yank who has come to an appreciation of British food from watching home cooks on YT. The first time I made bangers and mash with onion gravy(thank you for the recipe and video) I was happy and my husband was in heaven. So who’s to say British food is not good?? That is like judging American food on Jello and Spam! (Both of which have their place anyway, food snobs be daXXed.) So thank you for your lovely videos and encouragement of us home cooks who just get dinner on the table for our families every night. Love your channel. Be well, dear Adam. 💜😍🥰😽😘😘😘
I think a lot of the stigma came from the end of the second world war when rationing was still around into the 50s. Then came the awful 70s convenience boom, and the world just assumed that's what the food is like. We still make rubbish food just like anyone else. I mean take any petrol station or supermarket scotch egg and pitch it against a home made one fresh out of the fryer and they are completely different. Our food is good, and it's a hill I will die on mate.
I know this was a vlog yrs ago . But i love this vlog ,😍🇦🇺👍 You elivated this nicley with technique and kept it humble. Thank you i will be making this as you shown . You are a pleasure to see ,fantastic attitude to cooking with humorous comments. 🇦🇺👍😊
That's a sort of relief, I'm sorry you're poorly, but so glad you aren't packing it in. You are a quality channel that teaches me lots and I really appreciate that.
Aww Adam I’m so glad you & your step Mam are ok 👍🏻 You deserve to be happy,keep up with your great videos.Yeah am feeling down,it’s Xmas I’m grieving terribly for my mam at a time everyone is with the people they love ,but I have my dogs & love them 👍🏻
Most great cooks cook the way their mum or grandma taught them and they just add another flare to it. Presentation is always key too. Mince looks tasty as !! Potatoes looked scrumptious too
Hi Adam: I really enjoyed this video and find it terrible that the person you spoke about was so negative. In fact, I have become quite fascinated by recipes for Savoury Mince recently as being originally from the states (and despite having lived here for 40 years) I have never cooked it before. Your recipe has pleased me the most and I will definitely follow it - comfort food is a luxury to me and we all need it from time to time - if not everyday!!! .... especially these days when the whole world seems to have gone mad.
I’m in Australia, my family makes a version of this. We always serve with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots on the side instead of cooked in. There may be gravy powder involved 😅
Did this today with a few changes. I don’t have any onions so I did a mix of shallot and red pepper but everything else was the same and it tasted fantastic thank you x
Happy to have you back, Adam! It was really heartwarming to hear the story behind the dish, happy to hear that things are getting better for you. Sending good wishes your way 🤗
My mom was from a little town in Surrey and she made this dish for us when we were young. I make it for my husband and I when as you say we want something warm and comforting. He likes to call it schlub. It is really good on our cold Canadian winter nights with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. Keep on cooking.
I have no idea. Why I never thought of making this. But, I making it tonight. I have Alot of beef tothay I need to cook. I think my 12 year old son will love this He loves peas! I'm gonna add carrots too. Because he love them also Thank you.
I used to have this growing up it is proper comfort food, I need to make savoury mince now it looks delicious Adam, glad you are safe too, and it's great to see you back mate, and the audio is super and Thank you, for another awesome recipe :-)
Oh Adam, you’ve been through the wringer a bit lately! Good to see you back, sending a big hug (btw this made me so hungry watching it, I make my mine with the addition of dumplings- although you do need a snooze after lol) x
I’m sooo very happy that you’re ok! I’ve missed you and your videos and was wondering where you were. Thanks for the update. Just really glad you’re doing ok. I can’t wait to try this! Prayers for strength and your well being!🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾
That looked delicious. My mum used to cook an amazing mince, onions and peas dish when I was a child. I haven’t had mince for years and your video has lit the fire in me to give your recipe a go. I agree with your soapbox comments; too many people try to make themselves look smart by ridiculing others. You have my 100% support. Also, I found the audio totally fine, no problems at all. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best....I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for the support pal. It's just good food though isn't it? I don't understand why us Brits get so much food flak lol. We make some good stuff! Thank you for the input, means a lot
Making this right now. Savoury mince on toast for supper and fresh fruit salad to follow. The rest into the freezer. Kitchen smells divine. I like your recipes because they are easy and don't have an ingredient list as long as my arm 🤣🤣🤣
My thanks to you and yours from the States across the pond. mate. Part of me wishes I had stayed there after my tour of duty with the USAF at RAF Upper Heyford. What a wonderful place to live.
Thank you Duane. My stepfather worked as a line cook at RAF Fairford about 15 years ago. Told me some hilarious stories getting drunk with US soldiers 😂
Hi Adam, last August 16th I was in a horrible car accident that could’ve easily killed me, I rolled my truck multiple times, and it changed my life. I had many ppl praying for my recovery and just shy of 3 months later I am all good. I don’t know what you’re going thru but I am praying for you and will continue to pray for you until YOU say you’re ok. I’m a big fan of your channel and I wish you all the best. Sincerely (John From California)
My comfort food too my dad use to make this for me when we had little money, turnt into my faveourite meal. Im making it tonight thanks for the recipe thought i would never find it
Oooohh crikey, Adam. Thank goodness you're safe. Glad to hear that you're getting on better with your step mum. I'd forgotten about mince and onions. Haven't had it for years. I've got all the ingredients so I'll be having it today. Can't wait. Thank you for reminding me. Stay safe. P.S.. The audio was fine.
Thank you for being honest in every way. Always the best way as others might (can't) understand how you are. Your video was great as well as the audio. Also a big thank you for stepping in for this woman. You have a great character with an own opinion you even share in public. This unfortunately got rare nowadays. Bad luck struck many around me incl. myself. Mother passed, then I broke my hip in the bathroom at night and was only found 2 weeks later (now wheelchair until can walk again but no place to stay without stairs), and last week stepfather passed. Brothers and father don't care, they want to enjoy life. Don't give up, you have many people caring about you!!! 🍀
So sorry you had a rough patch, glad you’re back at it. I do believe you have a lapel mic now but the mic was fine on this vid. I cooked mince last night for supper. I put carrots in mine, served with a big pile of mashed potatoes. Yummo! So glad you looked after the sweet lady on Twitter. You’re a super hero ♥️ We do need to get back to being good to one another. It has to start with us good folks. Did your area get put back in lockdown? Watched the pm speaking earlier.
Thank you hun. And yep, we have to look out for each other. We'll, my city of Leicester is in tier 2. So pretty much nothing changes. So I still can't see my family unless it's outside. But I'll be on the right side of history, and I'll do what needs to be done to keep as many people safe. You take care now. X
Thanks Jenna! Funny thing is, he thinks he'll like it, but soon as you put it down for him he just goes 'nah'. But he'll like the plate after I've finished 🤷♂️😂
Nice to see you back Adam, hope you're better. Though I love many different foreign and ethnic dishes, hotpot or something equally 'ordinary' can still make me go weak at the knees whisking me back to my childhood and my Mum's lovely traditional cooking. Another no-nonsense crowd pleasing dish, cheers Adam.
Tq 4 sharing. Am indoors here in malaysia with covid19 .. I had 1pkt of frozen minced beef- ur recipe was a life saver. Didn’t hv potatoes in hand, added chopped tomatoes..ate it with rice.. family loves it . yummy😋
A few great messages from this video. Glad you are safe and well. Also glad things are on the improve with your step Mum. I just subscribed when I saw your 'Bangers and mash' video. Very well done. Great messages!!
Dunno if I would call mince and onions British food. We were reared on food like that in Ireland. Hard to beat it. My dear old mam used to make it and it was lovely. Often she would make it into a pie. It was pure 70s heaven!
Absolutely. Ireland, Scotland and I believe even Australia has a version of this. I guess I should have mentioned that, sorry. Its good stuff though right. I bet it would be great with colcannon!
Who was the person that was trashed? It might be good to check out how she's doing now. This was a great video, I love this and haven't had it in years. I plan on making it and have found a recipe that sounds solid, but naturally, I needed to double-check to see if you had a recipe- and you did.
I am so glad you stood up to the bully who tried to shame the person who made, and was proud of her effort, the dish you just made. Even though I make, and sometimes succeed, complicated dishes from scratch (like the ramen last weekend--noodles and all), simple and quick dishes like your savoury mince is still a welcome comfort. Thanks Adam, and I enjoy your comments on other channels we both watch! Oh, and the sound was ok, but not great. The video was really good and I particularly liked the out-of-focus effect when you were in the background. It takes a while to build up good video and audio chops, so just keep at it. I think Steve Cusato from "Not Another Cooking Show" has a bit of a tutorial on the process. His food content is stellar, too.
Hi there Adam, found your recipe 2weeks ago and have followed it to a t potatoes as well, just made it tonite for the second time, it's surperb and I'm topcat in the house now, just wanted to say thanks a mil Rgds Seamus in Dublin ps have read the comments and there's a lot of love out there for you, keep well and a big thumb's up
That's great news Seamus! It's one of my faves to cook when it's cold. Congrats on being topcat in the house haha. Thank you for watching and supporting me. Appreciate you all 🙏
Well done Adam looks tasty and so easy to make mine tends to be dryish this is more like my Mums recipe should have been using more stock. i agree people should not criticise the efforts made by content creatures just don't comment if its not for you.
Thanks, Garret. Now I know why my onions don’t cook so well. Also I don’t like potatoes in a stew or dish like yours. My mum put them all in together and everyone else loved them. Sorry to hear you have had a hard time. Great to see you back ❤️🇮🇪
This is still one of my favourite go to recipees its perfect when iv had a long hard day at work and dont want to slave over the oven all evening but still want a freshly cooked meal
Hi. I've just found your channel. Firstly I'm pleased your ok from your recent fire experience.and I like your honesty and plain speaking.. Secondly, this dish looks amazing and i will be making this tonight. Thirdly, as usual some people are too quick to judge, makes ne so mad, they dont know them, they dont know their circumstances, financial or other wise, be proud for them, be pleased for them, be kind.
Aww, childhood Memories. A similar version called "Gehacktesstippe" (meaning roughly minced meat in thick gravy) is/was a popular dish in eastern germany, albeit its eaten without peas and with pickles as a side. Nowadays i coincidently make an an almost identical dish to yours, but i also ad carrots and eat it over rice. Simple, but great
It's great to see you back on yt, I always look forward to your videos. I grew up on this mince, was also my kids favourite as they were growing up. I love it with carrots as well with mash or just put in the middle of a home cooked Yorkshire. Can't wait to see more of your videos, think you're a cracking chap. Hope you are in a better place now. X
Thanks, Adam for another great family share meal, with the colder times ahead families eat together more often, how nice to share a great dish together, thanks Adam for explaining the method and pitfall tips so easily, to be honesty you almost feel your in the kitchen with you, if you have any more great winter dishes please share, take care Mike (Abergele)
Hi Adam, loved this video and have now subscribed and followed. This is the first video I've come across of yours and I have to say WELL DONE for standing strong and doing what you love! Bullying is so damaging and should be resisted at all times. Thank again for the video my friend and see you in the next one. James from West Sussex
Hi Adam, as you know I only came to your channel fairly recently, so I was saddened to hear of your troubles last year. Glad to see you are doing great now. This is just the sort of food I grew up with, my mother was a good, basic, cook. Truthfully I sometimes find it harder to recreate these simple dishes then it is to make say a curry from scratch. This looks totally yummy. I so agree with you about the Twitter incident. People are only too happy to trash others when they have no idea of their circumstances and how they arrived in the place where they are. Keep smiling x
And it was the best food wasn't it Tina? I had a lot of problems growing up, in fact I made a video about it on the channel if you want to know more about me. But the food I grew up with always sticks with me as a happy memory. Xx
New subscriber from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦I was wondering what to make the family for dinner tonight and this looks amazing. I have some ground beef in the freezer and all the other ingredients you mentioned.
Happy to see you (and your creations) again. Wish you a great health, love and true friends as well as a beautiful Festive Season. 😃 Esther We all have good and bad times. I slipped in the bathroom at night and broke hip 3x, shoulder and all toes. Worst was that they only found me 14 days later. No food, water nor blanket. But it all heals quite fast and I don't fear to be on my own again in 2 weeks. Hospitals and clinics are not places where I like to be : zombies🙈.
@ Adam Garratt : a lot of time to think about favourite dishes😃 Am from the Netherlands but grew up in Portugal (chicken piri piri 🌶, fish and seafood). From the age of eleven in Switzerland, then moved to California on my own when I was 18. Later Italy, France, UK, Germany and my favourite : Cape Town. Currently back in Europe but hard to find a job over 40 years of age. Bet in England too. Keep on cooking your great meals and enjoy them🍀
Glad to hear you are okay Adam, a bit frightening though. I have always liked mince and onions, as you say, easy comfort food. Thanks for showing how easy this is to make. Sound is fine.
Just thought I would add that I have also had sound issues on my own vids too, it's a bit of trial and error. I have just bought a new mike, so hopefully, mine will improve. Mine are not cooking vids I hasten to add, but if you ever want to learn to play lawn bowls then look mine up. :)
Gonna elevate the a touch mote. I got some mushrooms and pepper that I got to use so I’m gonna add .watch this space and I’ll let you know how it went xx 💋
Omg I love the german food i have tried. I am in love with krakaur and kasekreiner sausage. I want to learn how to make them myself if i can get all the equipment
I was a step mum , its not the easiest job in the world and I think it is lovely that you said those nice things about your step mum. If my step kids had said something like that about me I would have been over the moon. I bet she is very proud of you. 😀
I was a very damaged young boy. I didn't have stability and I didn't know what was going on. My world was upside down and I couldn't make sense of anything.

I’m in Australia, my family makes a version of this. We always serve with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots on the side instead of cooked in. There may be gravy powder involved 😅
Did this today with a few changes. I don’t have any onions so I did a mix of shallot and red pepper but everything else was the same and it tasted fantastic thank you x
Nice one Patricia! X
This little old lady of 73 years old came across your video today......I trust you are well..❤❤
Awww welcome to the channel Henrietta x
A very nice meal Adam. Glad you’re safe and back with us. Thank you for the vid.
Happy to have you back, Adam! It was really heartwarming to hear the story behind the dish, happy to hear that things are getting better for you. Sending good wishes your way 🤗
Thank you Manasi! ❤️
My mom was from a little town in Surrey and she made this dish for us when we were young. I make it for my husband and I when as you say we want something warm and comforting. He likes to call it schlub. It is really good on our cold Canadian winter nights with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. Keep on cooking.
Oh nice! I like the creamed corn idea. I'll try that for sure. Thank you
I make this with new potatoes and cook them in with the mince. Gives them a great flavour.
Nothing bland about it, I love it, I sometimes do a suet top for it.
I sauté my spuds like this a lot now. Since I done them both hubby and I prefer them this way thanks to you xx 💋
I have no idea. Why I never thought of making this. But, I making it tonight. I have Alot of beef tothay I need to cook. I think my 12 year old son will love this
He loves peas! I'm gonna add carrots too. Because he love them also
Thank you.
Enjoy 😁
I used to have this growing up it is proper comfort food, I need to make savoury mince now it looks delicious Adam, glad you are safe too, and it's great to see you back mate, and the audio is super and Thank you, for another awesome recipe :-)
It's one of those dishes that just seems timeless right? It's all about little techniques done well. That's what makes the difference to me
Looks like comfort food to me!!! Yummy!!! Love ya Adam..
Chin up fella!!!! Glad you're back!!!✌️💜
So glad to hear that you are safe, and able to return to what you enjoy!
Thank you Daric. Appreciate you bud
Oh Adam, you’ve been through the wringer a bit lately! Good to see you back, sending a big hug (btw this made me so hungry watching it, I make my mine with the addition of dumplings- although you do need a snooze after lol) x
Thank you Lee. Love the dumplings idea. I always say that to eat the best English food, eat it in the winter
Great recipe and totally agree with the soapbox at the end
Sound is superb brother and I could just slide that down my gizzard right now😉
And no garlic in it! 😂
I’m sooo very happy that you’re ok! I’ve missed you and your videos and was wondering where you were. Thanks for the update. Just really glad you’re doing ok. I can’t wait to try this! Prayers for strength and your well being!🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾
Awww thanks Gaile. Such kind words 😊❤️
That looked delicious. My mum used to cook an amazing mince, onions and peas dish when I was a child. I haven’t had mince for years and your video has lit the fire in me to give your recipe a go. I agree with your soapbox comments; too many people try to make themselves look smart by ridiculing others. You have my 100% support. Also, I found the audio totally fine, no problems at all. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best....I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for the support pal. It's just good food though isn't it? I don't understand why us Brits get so much food flak lol. We make some good stuff! Thank you for the input, means a lot
Making this right now. Savoury mince on toast for supper and fresh fruit salad to follow. The rest into the freezer. Kitchen smells divine. I like your recipes because they are easy and don't have an ingredient list as long as my arm 🤣🤣🤣
Nice one Paula! I'm glad you like it. 🙂
In a word luscious. Thank you Adam.
My thanks to you and yours from the States across the pond. mate. Part of me wishes I had stayed there after my tour of duty with the USAF at RAF Upper Heyford. What a wonderful place to live.
Thank you Duane. My stepfather worked as a line cook at RAF Fairford about 15 years ago. Told me some hilarious stories getting drunk with US soldiers 😂
This is the kind of food I'd eat from choice.
I am glad that you're okay - sorry to hear about the fire.
Cheers Josh mate
Hi Adam, last August 16th I was in a horrible car accident that could’ve easily killed me, I rolled my truck multiple times, and it changed my life. I had many ppl praying for my recovery and just shy of 3 months later I am all good. I don’t know what you’re going thru but I am praying for you and will continue to pray for you until YOU say you’re ok. I’m a big fan of your channel and I wish you all the best. Sincerely
(John From California)
Holy shit John that's crazy. So glad you're OK now! All the best to you and your family.
Adam Garratt Thank You 😊
My comfort food too my dad use to make this for me when we had little money, turnt into my faveourite meal. Im making it tonight thanks for the recipe thought i would never find it
You're welcome Chloe. 😘 I know what it's like to have nowt, so thank you for sharing.
Oooohh crikey, Adam. Thank goodness you're safe.
Glad to hear that you're getting on better with your step mum.
I'd forgotten about mince and onions. Haven't had it for years. I've got all the ingredients so I'll be having it today. Can't wait. Thank you for reminding me. Stay safe.
P.S.. The audio was fine.
Thank you Nees. Yes it's a simple cracking dish this. Making some tomorrow again
Thank you for being honest in every way. Always the best way as others might (can't) understand how you are. Your video was great as well as the audio. Also a big thank you for stepping in for this woman. You have a great character with an own opinion you even share in public. This unfortunately got rare nowadays.
Bad luck struck many around me incl. myself. Mother passed, then I broke my hip in the bathroom at night and was only found 2 weeks later (now wheelchair until can walk again but no place to stay without stairs), and last week stepfather passed. Brothers and father don't care, they want to enjoy life. Don't give up, you have many people caring about you!!! 🍀
Wow sounds like you've really been though the mill! Take care of yourself x
So sorry you had a rough patch, glad you’re back at it. I do believe you have a lapel mic now but the mic was fine on this vid.
I cooked mince last night for supper. I put carrots in mine, served with a big pile of mashed potatoes. Yummo!
So glad you looked after the sweet lady on Twitter. You’re a super hero ♥️ We do need to get back to being good to one another. It has to start with us good folks.
Did your area get put back in lockdown? Watched the pm speaking earlier.
Thank you hun. And yep, we have to look out for each other. We'll, my city of Leicester is in tier 2. So pretty much nothing changes. So I still can't see my family unless it's outside. But I'll be on the right side of history, and I'll do what needs to be done to keep as many people safe. You take care now. X
Thank you. I hope you are ok now. Take care x
Looks amazing Adam!!
Your editing is fantastic...
The cat wants a portion xx
Thanks Jenna! Funny thing is, he thinks he'll like it, but soon as you put it down for him he just goes 'nah'. But he'll like the plate after I've finished 🤷♂️😂
Nice to see you back Adam, hope you're better. Though I love many different foreign and ethnic dishes, hotpot or something equally 'ordinary' can still make me go weak at the knees whisking me back to my childhood and my Mum's lovely traditional cooking. Another no-nonsense crowd pleasing dish, cheers Adam.
Cheers Nick. Yep sometimes all you want is a simple warming tasty meal. I love love love hotpot.
Tq 4 sharing. Am indoors here in malaysia with covid19 .. I had 1pkt of frozen minced beef- ur recipe was a life saver. Didn’t hv potatoes in hand, added chopped tomatoes..ate it with rice.. family loves it . yummy😋
That's awful bud, I hope you and your family are OK. Please stay safe. ❤️
@@Adam_Garrattwe are good,tq. Very much blessed indeed by your sharing.
A few great messages from this video. Glad you are safe and well. Also glad things are on the improve with your step Mum. I just subscribed when I saw your 'Bangers and mash' video. Very well done. Great messages!!
Thanks so much
Dunno if I would call mince and onions British food. We were reared on food like that in Ireland. Hard to beat it. My dear old mam used to make it and it was lovely. Often she would make it into a pie. It was pure 70s heaven!
Absolutely. Ireland, Scotland and I believe even Australia has a version of this. I guess I should have mentioned that, sorry. Its good stuff though right. I bet it would be great with colcannon!
Hi Adam….just made your Mince and onion recipe ready for tonight’s tea. Having it with mash and veggies….👍
Nice one fella. Hope you all like it
Never give up honey. 💖💖 greetings from Crete Greece 💖💖
Thank you 🙂❤️
Who was the person that was trashed?
It might be good to check out how she's doing now.
This was a great video, I love this and haven't had it in years. I plan on making it and have found a recipe that sounds solid, but naturally, I needed to double-check to see if you had a recipe- and you did.
Sounds fine to me, this was a staple when i was a kid in the 50s along with beans and cheese-on toast
I am so glad you stood up to the bully who tried to shame the person who made, and was proud of her effort, the dish you just made. Even though I make, and sometimes succeed, complicated dishes from scratch (like the ramen last weekend--noodles and all), simple and quick dishes like your savoury mince is still a welcome comfort. Thanks Adam, and I enjoy your comments on other channels we both watch! Oh, and the sound was ok, but not great. The video was really good and I particularly liked the out-of-focus effect when you were in the background. It takes a while to build up good video and audio chops, so just keep at it. I think Steve Cusato from "Not Another Cooking Show" has a bit of a tutorial on the process. His food content is stellar, too.
Thanks for the comment and advice John. I need to look at better audio options. Thanks bud
That was a great video. Thank you so much! You're a great person! 😊
Hi there Adam, found your recipe 2weeks ago and have followed it to a t potatoes as well, just made it tonite for the second time, it's surperb and I'm topcat in the house now, just wanted to say thanks a mil
Rgds Seamus in Dublin
ps have read the comments and there's a lot of love out there for you, keep well and a big thumb's up
That's great news Seamus! It's one of my faves to cook when it's cold. Congrats on being topcat in the house haha. Thank you for watching and supporting me. Appreciate you all 🙏
I’m going to make this again. It’s good. Thanks Adam. AussieBob
Well done Adam looks tasty and so easy to make mine tends to be dryish this is more like my Mums recipe should have been using more stock. i agree people should not criticise the efforts made by content creatures just don't comment if its not for you.
I'm so making this this week Adam!! By far my favorite family dinner we used to eat, makes me instantly feel at home when I eat this dinner
Best dinner ever lol
awesome mate .....enjoyed the soap box rant well said mate x
Thanks, Garret. Now I know why my onions don’t cook so well. Also I don’t like potatoes in a stew or dish like yours. My mum put them all in together and everyone else loved them. Sorry to hear you have had a hard time. Great to see you back ❤️🇮🇪
Thank you Kathleen
loved your video .good cheap easy meal . Mince is a meal that you can add anything to it.How can anybody not like this.
It's a fab easy meal Derek. Thanks for watching mate
This is still one of my favourite go to recipees its perfect when iv had a long hard day at work and dont want to slave over the oven all evening but still want a freshly cooked meal
It's a cracking little recipe this. Especially when it's a bit chilly out
@@Adam_Garratt what's even better is its great on toast and you can batch cook it freeze it and use it as a base for a cottage pie etc
Hi. I've just found your channel. Firstly I'm pleased your ok from your recent fire experience.and I like your honesty and plain speaking.. Secondly, this dish looks amazing and i will be making this tonight. Thirdly, as usual some people are too quick to judge, makes ne so mad, they dont know them, they dont know their circumstances, financial or other wise, be proud for them, be pleased for them, be kind.
Awww thank you Liz! Lovely to have you as part of our little family 😊
Looks great Adam. Making it tonight. Love your real comfort food. Aussie Bob.
Enjoy it Robert 🙂
God bless fire alarms and also bless anyone who enjoys what they do without being up themselves
Absolutely right mate
This recipe is what I grew up on.....something I never think of making now....but after your video I’m going to try....thanks and glad you are back 👍
So simple and yet so satisfying!
Aww, childhood Memories. A similar version called "Gehacktesstippe" (meaning roughly minced meat in thick gravy) is/was a popular dish in eastern germany, albeit its eaten without peas and with pickles as a side. Nowadays i coincidently make an an almost identical dish to yours, but i also ad carrots and eat it over rice. Simple, but great
It's great to see you back on yt, I always look forward to your videos. I grew up on this mince, was also my kids favourite as they were growing up. I love it with carrots as well with mash or just put in the middle of a home cooked Yorkshire. Can't wait to see more of your videos, think you're a cracking chap. Hope you are in a better place now. X
Thank you so much Levina. Omg a giant Yorkshire pudding would be epic with this. Gonna try 😂
Thanks, Adam for another great family share meal, with the colder times ahead families eat together more often, how nice to share a great dish together, thanks Adam for explaining the method and pitfall tips so easily, to be honesty you almost feel your in the kitchen with you, if you have any more great winter dishes please share, take care Mike (Abergele)
Cheers Mike
Hi Adam, loved this video and have now subscribed and followed. This is the first video I've come across of yours and I have to say WELL DONE for standing strong and doing what you love! Bullying is so damaging and should be resisted at all times. Thank again for the video my friend and see you in the next one. James from West Sussex
Thank you James and welcome to our little family! Hope you're keeping safe mate
Sounds great. So is the food.❤
Looks lovely, audio really good too, going to make it for dinner tomorrow, hope it turns out as good , I’m not a good cook and don’t enjoy cooking😂😂😂
Great vid mate. I like what you had to say too. Nothing worse than food snobs. Cheers.
Cheers mate 👍
Hi Adam, as you know I only came to your channel fairly recently, so I was saddened to hear of your troubles last year. Glad to see you are doing great now. This is just the sort of food I grew up with, my mother was a good, basic, cook. Truthfully I sometimes find it harder to recreate these simple dishes then it is to make say a curry from scratch. This looks totally yummy. I so agree with you about the Twitter incident. People are only too happy to trash others when they have no idea of their circumstances and how they arrived in the place where they are. Keep smiling x
And it was the best food wasn't it Tina? I had a lot of problems growing up, in fact I made a video about it on the channel if you want to know more about me. But the food I grew up with always sticks with me as a happy memory. Xx
@@Adam_Garratt I just watched it hun, left you a comment on there x
Made your chicken casserole and it was fantastic. I'll be making this too. Cheers mate.
No problem Mark all the best
Good to see you back, i'm starving.
haha thanks Garry
Hahaha! Me too!!
New subscriber from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦I was wondering what to make the family for dinner tonight and this looks amazing. I have some ground beef in the freezer and all the other ingredients you mentioned.
Well Greetings! And welcome to the family Kathleen. I hope you enjoy the weird and wonderful stuff that goes on on this channel. 😂❤️
Good to have you back
Cheers Garry
Thanks Adam, that’s dinner sorted for tonight. Do you use an air fryer? Love your recipes some air fryer recipes would be brill. Have a lovely day. 😊
Happy to see you (and your creations) again. Wish you a great health, love and true friends as well as a beautiful Festive Season. 😃 Esther
We all have good and bad times. I slipped in the bathroom at night and broke hip 3x, shoulder and all toes. Worst was that they only found me 14 days later. No food, water nor blanket. But it all heals quite fast and I don't fear to be on my own again in 2 weeks. Hospitals and clinics are not places where I like to be : zombies🙈.
omg thats awful! i'm so glad you're ok! 14 days is a long time to not be found.
@ Adam Garratt : a lot of time to think about favourite dishes😃 Am from the Netherlands but grew up in Portugal (chicken piri piri 🌶, fish and seafood). From the age of eleven in Switzerland, then moved to California on my own when I was 18. Later Italy, France, UK, Germany and my favourite : Cape Town. Currently back in Europe but hard to find a job over 40 years of age. Bet in England too. Keep on cooking your great meals and enjoy them🍀
Reminds me of the proper dinners we use to have as kids, that would also be a great topping on a jacket potato.
Absolutely smashing on a jacket spud mate
Glad to hear you are okay Adam, a bit frightening though. I have always liked mince and onions, as you say, easy comfort food. Thanks for showing how easy this is to make. Sound is fine.
Just thought I would add that I have also had sound issues on my own vids too, it's a bit of trial and error. I have just bought a new mike, so hopefully, mine will improve. Mine are not cooking vids I hasten to add, but if you ever want to learn to play lawn bowls then look mine up. :)
Cheers Alec. You're right, it's going to be trial and error to get the right audio I guess.
Hi Adam just found your channel, love mince dishes, will try this out, looks hearty, audio sounds great, by the way , thanks
Thank you Karen. welcome to the family :)
Absolutely awesome. Thanks Adam
No worries mate!
Well said mate. Basic tasty food is great. Just like mum and granny used to cook.
Made this for dinner this evening. Absolutely delectable
Good to hear. Hope you're keeping safe 🙂
Great job AG , thanks .
This is good basic food, the fancy stuff is great but you can't beat good old mince n onions, glad you're ok, welcome back.
Never a truer word said. Cheers pal
Gonna elevate the a touch mote. I got some mushrooms and pepper that I got to use so I’m gonna add .watch this space and I’ll let you know how it went xx 💋
Hello Adam. I'm from Germany and I really love those hearty british dishes. They're partially very similar to german cooking. Keep up the great work!
Omg I love the german food i have tried. I am in love with krakaur and kasekreiner sausage. I want to learn how to make them myself if i can get all the equipment
