Spicy Mince With Rice & Spinach image

This recipe is on a sheet cut out from a magazine years ago. I think it's probably family circle, but not certain. Made it quite a lot for a while, but then stopped. We seem to be returning to our old favourites here for a while.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm willing to give this recipe a try. I'm sure I can adjust the amount of chili powder to suit my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
