We love this! Regularly made in our household, and often supplemented with extra vegies (finely sliced mushrooms, grated carrot/onion/zucchini) and I usually use turkey mince instead of pork/chicken - just cheaper, and flavour doesn't suffer. Have also been known to add a 1/4 cup of white wine and a good smattering of chilli flakes (when serving for adults - I overdid it last time for the kids and it wasn't well received!!!)
