Mince Wellington is a great inexpensive dish that the kids will adore!
Like a cross between a big sausage roll and a meatloaf, it looks, smells and tastes great! It’s like a meatloaf but a bit fancier. This dish is also great to sneak loads of vegetables into.

Ingredients
500 gram Lean beef mince
1 tbsp Oil
1 Onion (Diced)
2 tsp Garlic (Minced)
3/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Milk
2 Puff pastry (sheet)
1 Egg-Beaten
125 gram Mushrooms-sliced
2 tbsp Tomato sauce
2 tsp Minced herbs-or Tuscan seasoning
Directions
- In a mixing bowl place mince, milk, seasoning, tomato sauce, breadcrumbs and mix together using a wooden spoon or your hands.
- Heat oil in frypan and add onion, garlic and mushrooms.
- Cook until onion is clear and mushrooms have browned.
- Drain off any juices and place on paper towel to drain further. This prevents the pastry from going soggy.
- Lay both sheets of pastry down on a lined baking tray and join together the two sheets. Overlap the pastry by about 1cm and press down on the pastry with your fingers.
- Place half of the mushroom and onion mix on the pastry in a wide line up the center leaving about 5cm at either end. The top this with the mince mix forming a log shape.
- Top with remaining mushroom and onion mix.
- Wrap up doing the sides first one at time then as you turn over tucking the ends under.
- Prick the top with a fork and brush pastry with egg so it turns golden brown when cooking.
- Cook in oven on lined tray for 40 minutes at 190 degrees C or until the pastry is golden.
Notes
- Mince Wellington is suitable for freezing for up to 3 months. Allow to cool to room temperature before sealing in plastic wrap.

I love this recipe, but does anyone else find it makes them feel a bit bloated? Any suggestions of what I can change to help my stomach but still enjoy this?
I would suggest maybe changing the onion and garlic for another flavour.. They are notorious for that… Google it. Good luck!
