Ingredients:
Beef mince
1/2 a small onion - finely chopped
1 small clove of Garlic - finely chopped
peas
corn
gravy powder
carrot - grated
herbs and spices to taste

Mashed potato to serve with

Preparation time:
about 30 mins

Method:

1). In a saucepan fry the mince (without any oil, just a dry pan) until it has browned.  Add the onion and fry until it is soft, then add the garlic and fry until it starts to brown. 

2).  Add about 2 cups of water, carrot, peas and corn.  Plus any spices you want to add.  Bring this to the boil

3).  In a coffee mug, add about 2 tablespoons of gravy powder and ebough water to mix into a paste. Add this to the pot.

4).  Simmer this for as long as you like.  At least until the carrot is soft.  Serve by slopping it on a plate (it will be very liquidy - so if you have those flatter soup bowls, they are perfect) with mashed potato.  I like to pour some mint sauce over mine.

If you want to thinken it, add some corn flour.  Mix about 2 teaspoons of cornflour with about 2 tablespoons of water and belnd well. Add this to the mince mix and bring to the boil.  This should thicken.
