Instructions

  • Defrost lots of mince meat and any other frozen goods you may use (like tomato sauce or parsley)
  • In a large pot, add olive oil and add mince meat
  • Cook mince on medium-high heat until brown, stirring occasionally

  • To the melted butter, add the flour and stir vigorously with a fork
  • After 2-3 minutes, add a splash of milk and continue to stir powerfully
  • Continue adding the milk bit by bit. Each time, stir until the butter/flour clumps are totally combined with the milk
