  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic and mushrooms, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion has softened. Increase heat to medium–high, add mince and cook, stirring to break up lumps, for 5 minutes or until cooked through.
