Tip : The mince should always be a bit greasy & fresh (If you defrost your meat, it will need to be drained from excess liquid and will need more breadcrumbs)
2. Alternatives to breadcrumbs:
Quick instant oats
Challa bread / or any other gluten free bread ( just pulse it in a blender to make your own crumbs)
Baked Sweet potatoes / potatoes
Cooked rice
3. Alternatives to Grated butternut & Carrots:
