Ready Steady Cook Moment

[jacey]

I was looking for inspiration for a meal for two yesterday and my brain hadn't planned in advance. In the fridge I found part of a pack of Sainsbury's fresh beefburgers plus assorted vegetables and on the back of the worktop there was half a bottle of a rather serious red wine with peppery overtones. So:

I onion
2 large carrots
1 parsnip
(all peeled and chopped into small pieces)
I box (or can) of chopped tomatoes in olive oil and garlic.
seasoning: salt, mixed herbs, paprika, 1 beef oxo
Slosh on most of the half bottle of red wine (drink the rest)
Beak 3 beefburgers in half, ball up as meatballs, place on top
Casserole in a moderate oven for about an hour and a half or a bit longer until vegetables are soft & well integrated and meatballs are brown on top.
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes.

Easy and very yum!
