quite contemporary
Recently I got fed up with generic 'fry the mince beef and add cook-in sauce' becuase of its general lack of adventure and dull repeatability, so I was jaded with the likes of Dolmio or Ragu.

Therefore, in a quest for novelty I fried the mince with a can of chopped tomatoes instead. Quite nice, a bit bland.

So, next time, added salt and pepper to the chopped tomatoes as well. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time added Chilli (instead of salt and pepper) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time, added lemon juice and coriander (instead of chilli) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time added Worcestershire sauce (instead of lemon juice and coriander) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time added liquid Oxo (instead of Worcestershire sauce) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time, added soy sauce (instead of Worcestershire sauce) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time added a touch of honey and some garlic (instead of soy sauce) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So, next time added a squirt of burger mustard and tomato puree (instead of honey and garlic) to the chopped tomatoes. Quite nice, still a bit bland.

So NEXT time while slightly tipsy, added garlic, chilli, honey, lemon juice, coriander, liquid Oxo, pepper, salt, soy and Worcestershire sauces, burger mustard and a squirt of tomato puree to a can of chopped tomatoes and into the frying mince.

NICE!

Tastes just like Ragu or Dolmio.

a decent bit of
salt pepper and oregano (and maybe a tiny drop of tabasco) makes a great tomato sauce. They sell it here, so I only have to add the tabasco.


NICE

Just get a good tomato pasta recipe
and substitute whatever meat for the mince. Most students can make this stuff! In fact I ate a mince pasta tonight and it was lovely. Mince, fresh vegetables, herbs, olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic, chilli and tinned chopped tomatoes. Add red wine right at the end to taste. Put salt in the pan you are boiling your pasta in and then after draining the pasta sift some butter into it until it looks nice. Serve with red wine and enjoy the easy healthiness.

BTW
Your experiment wasn't pointless in the end was it? Therefore I withhold my click because I'm a pedantic bastard.

Jalapenos
Added to Dolmio (the extra spicy type) and some red wine makes a VERY tasty and easy to prepare (read: I'm a lazy bastard) meal.
