Easy Beef Meatballs & Baby Carrots

• Drain potatoes and turnips, then return to saucepan. Add the butter and chicken-style stock powder and mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm. • Meanwhile, combine beef mince, garlic & herb seasoning and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. You should get 4-5 meatballs per person.

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.

• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add passata, meatballs and water. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • In a second large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
