Minute Monday: MEF
This time I have a really simple baked potato option. You can used an oven or even air-fryer to bake your potatoes, but for me the microwave is much quicker. The potatoes cooked while I heated the rest.
Most of the time I use leftover mince when doing these however recently we didn't have any mince, but did have a tin of bolognaise sauce in the cupboard and that worked almost as well. Yes, this option is higher in salt than when I cook my own bolognaise, however for most people this is not an issue, especially if overall intakes are low, and the overall nutrition profile of the product is not too bad.
As with a lot of these meals this is a 2 person recipe, but you may have a bit of mince leftover, depending on the size tin you are able to get. We just used that for a lunch the next day, but do what works for you.
