Does the recipe just use 1 can of kidney beans or how many? It just says kidney beans. If it is a preference then how many do you use when you make it?
Thanks!
I personally boil the mince before I cook it in the recipe.
I usually get quite a bit of fat forming on the top.
So if you have worried about the fat, try that. You DON'T lose out on any flavour at all. Just don't boil it for hours on end. You literally need to flashboil it for 2-3 minutes.
When you're done, DON'T strain the mince through a sieve. leave it to cool and the fat forms a hard layer on the top of the water. Remove it when this happens. if you sieve it, the melted fat will just resorb back into the mince as it passes through.
You can either remove it by using a baster (like a turkey baster) while it's hot.. It's quite easy to see the oily deposits on the top. Or you can wait for it to cool down and remove the nasty layer of unwanted kcal from the top..
I brown the mince in a large pan with a spout, so when its fully cooked you can just put the lid on and pour the fat out, simple.
possible to make this vegetarian?
I just did one like this but i use ground turkey. Not so much fat at all. Then buy everything low in salt.
what are the serving sizes? like 1 cup? or 2 or 3 ect...
What is the serving size for this?
15.5 grams of fat thats quite alot isnt it prob not best for trying to shift a bit of bodyfat or is that not to bad??
Hi Paul,
Overall calories will be your primary concern with fat loss.
You can also use 90% or leaner ground beef, even though it's more expensive of course.
