Classic Chow Mein Mince – budget friendly!
A filling, easy to prepare and delicious to eat, chow mein mince meal!
Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 kg beef mince
- 1 large onion, fine diced
- 1 large carrot, cut into thin sticks or fine diced
- 1 heaped tbsp Minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tsp curry powder (I use Keens brand)
- 1.5 cups liquid beef stock

- 2 pkts Oriental flavoured 2min noodles (I use Maggi brand)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except the 2min noodles, to the slow cooker. Mix gently to combine.
- Cook on low for 6hrs
- In the final 15mins of cooking take your 2 packets of noodles, break each in half and sit on top of the chow mein in slow cooker. Sprinkle flavour sachets over the noodles. Pour 200ml boiling water over noodles & push them down to submerge them into the meat mix & cover them.Come back after 15mins & mix them throughout the mixture to disperse.
- Serve with optional crusty buttered bread on the side or just on it's own.Curry taste in this dish is not spicy/hot, so all ages can enjoy this meal. If you prefer more bite, by all means add more for your family's tastes 🙂

This is so yummy, will definitely make it again ?
This was good. Used only 500g mince but kept the seasonings the same. Used only 125ml beef stock as my slow cooker makes a lot of liquid. Cooked the noodles separately as hubby loves them and I knew he would prefer it like that. 10/10 recipe! ?
Made this tonight, quick , easy and Hubby loved it, can’t ask for anything more 🙂
If I do noodles separately do I still add noodle flavouring into meat please
Doreen
I’d put the flavour with the noodles if you are doing the noodles separate.
Hubby & I thoroughly enjoyed this, I added Chilli as we like a bit of kick, will definitely be making this again 😋
I made this for the first time tonight. The only thing I changed was I used Quorn mince as I don’t eat meat. I also added bean sprouts and the noodles I used were the Amoy Singapore curry noodles. This dish is so flavourful it will be a regular tea.
Made this yesterday and I was amazing, highly recommended
Made this two nights ago. Yum. Thumbs up all round. So easy.
this was so yummy, i forgot to take a photo. I will be making again
this was lovely I added chillies to it 👏🏻😋

Thanks for leaving your great feedback De 🙂
Easy, delicious, affordable. Even my fussy 5yo liked it. I halved the recipe but kept the same amount of vegetables and noodles. Will definitely be making it again.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback Rebecca – really appreciate it!
This recipe is so similar to one I made up years ago, only on the stove top. Of course it’s even easier in the slow cooker!!! I didn’t add any water until near the end when I added the noodles as it made enough liquid. Very yummy.
We’ve been away camping I’ve cooked slowcooker meals the whole time, and this one certainly didn’t disappoint, so 😋
What great feedback!! Thanks for taking the time to leave yours Sheriee 🙂
So tasty and filling
Aweswome! And thanks for leaving your lovely feedback Sheriee 🙂

Thanks wonderful to get a tip of something else to try in it too – thanks Margaret! 🙂
