Step 1

Preparation: - Wash and chop potatoes into cubes - chop the onion - crush the garlic - crumble the beef stock into 1/4 pint of hot water - if using fresh vegetables instead of frozen, peel and shop them into small cubes - grate the cheese Method: 1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 5/190C/375F 2. Place the potato cubes into a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Then simmer slowly for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. Drain the potatoes using a colander, return to the pan and mash with the milk. 3. If using fresh vegetables, place them in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes then drain off the water. 4. In a large frying pan brown the minced beef (add a little water if it sticks), add the onion and the garlic and fry until soft. Pour away any fart that has come out of the beef. 5. Add the stock, cooked or frozen vegetables and tomatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. 6. Put the beef and vegetable mixture into a large casserole dish. Spread the mashed potato over and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. 7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the cheese is brown and the mixture is bubbling. Handy Hints: - Serve with your favourite vegetables - Leaving the skins on the potatoes saves time, and adds more fibre. - The cheese adds flavour and encouraged the kids to eat it! - For a meat free option use 1 bag of Quorn mince instead of minced beef.
