It’s fairly easy I know. I have lamb mince and the jarred bolognese.I have onions and mushrooms but the mushrooms are frozen and I’ve never cooked them from frozen before. Do I just use pop the mushrooms from frozen in with the lamb mince then the onions and cook.

What’s your way to cook spaghetti bolognese with same ingredients I have?

I would just chuck the lot in a large saucepan and let it simmer on a low heat for 45 minutes. You will soon know when its cooks, cos the mince will brown off - and the fat from it will cook the mushrooms and onions. Just stir it now and again.

thank you @Naarai Should I brown the mine off first? Then chuck the onions and frozen mushrooms then simmer?

Personally i would chuck the lot in, in one go. The fat from the mince should stop it from burning.

Upto you.
