Iceland Spicy Chilli Beef Pasta Bake 400g
Spicy beef and bean tortillas - no chopping or weighing. Cook from frozen recipe.
All the main ingredients are added directly from your freezer. Frozen food is a lifesaver for those busy days when you just don't have time.
Quick and Easy Easy Dinner Idea
With the family patiently waiting for dinner to be on the table it's brilliant to be able to open the freezer and gather a few simple ingredients together.
Along with a few store cupboard bits and bobs you can produce a tasty and filling quality meal in under 30 minutes, and that's from start to finish!
I can hear you saying, 'Under 30 minutes; yeah right, with all that chopping involved'?
But it's true, and what's more, there's no need for a knife or kitchen scales anywhere in my amazingly simple and easy recipe.
No peeling, chopping or weighing the ingredients!
Having been asked to take part in the #PowerofFrozen campaign by Iceland Foods I took on their 'Cut the Hassle' recipe challenge and I came up this Spicy Beef & Bean Feast.
By using frozen food products that can be cooked straight from the freezer. There's none of the tedious peeling or chopping since it's been done for you!
Frozen food is not only convenient but can actually save you money too; since you only use what you need from the packet and then just pop the rest back into the freezer.
My Spicy Beef can also be easily turned into a quick Chilli con Carne just by serving with rice instead of tortillas.
Of course, the amount of spiciness depends on your taste, you can add more or less chilli, it's entirely up to you.
I must say I'd never bought frozen minced beef until now but after studying the different packs available I went for Beef Steak Mince and bought the Diced Onions separately.
Also available if you prefer, is Minced Beef with Onions already added. I chose to buy them separately purely because the fat content of the Beef Steak Mince I used is a lot lower in fat than the one with the onions mixed in.
Anyway, check out the freezer cabinets in your local Iceland store and buy whichever works for you.
