Brown off the mince in a frying pan in a small amount of oil

Remove the mince, then fry the bacon, if using

Soften the veg in the same pan, add the garlic, then add the mince back in

Pour over the Worcestershire sauce and stir to glaze the mince and veg. Season with pepper and add a good sprinkling of chopped or dried rosemary and thyme.

Continue to cook on a lowish heat for as long as you want. I tend to cover to avoid it getting too dry. You can add more Worcestershire sauce or even a little beef stock if you want to add a bit more liquid as it is a fairly dry dish.

Serve with jacket potatoes, green veg or salad, and top with a dollop of sour cream
