Ingredients

750g Beef Mince
1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup beef stock
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup grated tasty cheese
50g butter
1/4 cup warm milk
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to season

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with butter and warm milk until smooth. Season well. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef mince in batches, breaking it up as you go. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is thick.
Stir through the frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Transfer the mince mixture to a large baking dish if needed. Spoon the mashed potato over the top and spread evenly with a fork, creating a textured surface.
Scatter the grated cheese generously over the potato topping.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. Serve with steamed greens or a simple salad.
