mince I use beef but you could use pork, lamb, or even chicken or a mixture • Enough potatoes to feed two people. I use a small tin of new potatoes but you could use bigger ones and cut them in half. If fresh potatoes check they’re cooked with a fork and cook longer if needed • frozen mixed veg. I use carrot broccoli and cauliflower. I sometimes add green beans mushrooms and peppers too, but my mum only ever added carrots and swede • a box of dried onion, fresh can be used too. I always forget about fresh onions so I keep dried in the cupboard • water or more if needed or if you prefer a runnier gravy • beef stock cubes or 1 each of beef and vegetable + enough beef gravy granules to thicken gravy to your liking ( you can use flour or other sauce/ gravy thickener. I like to use granules for flavour • Salt and pepper to taste • mixture of herbs of your choice
