Just a simple cottage pie made with beef mince (else if made with lamb mince it would be shepherds pie). Another way to sneak some veg into the kids 😄

Steps

1 hour

1

Preheat the oven to about 190°. Heat a little olive oil in a large sauce pan and add the onion, carrot and celery (apparently called a mirepoix). Cook for a few minutes.
2

Crumble in the mince to the mirepoix and cook until brown, stirring with a fork rather than a spoon (stops the mince from clumping together).
3

Add in a little red wine, a little Worcestershire sauce, some garlic paste, mixed herbs, salt and pepper, all to taste and then add the beef stock. Simmer, covered for about 20 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, in a separate pan, cook the potatoes until soft, about 15 minutes, then mash with a little butter and milk until smooth and set aside.
5

Transfer the minced beef and vegetables to an oven dish.
6

Layer the mashed potatoes on top and fluff with a fork. Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes until the potatoes are nice and golden. Enjoy 😋
