Step 1

Preheat oven to moderate 180°C. Heat oil in a heavy-based pan; add onion. Cook over medium high heat until soft. Add mince. Cook 10 minutes or until well browned and almost all liquid has evaporated. Use a fork to break up any lumps of mince as it cooks.

Step 2

2 Blend flour with a little reserved tomato juice until smooth. Add sufficient water to remaining tomato juice to make up 1 cup. Blend into the flour mixture with crumbled stock cube. 3 Gradually add liquid, to mince mixture, stirring constantly over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, peas and carrots, Mix well. Bring to the boil and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes or until the meat is tender. 4 Cook the potato in a large pan of boiling water until tender. Drain, mash well. Blend in sour cream and pepper to taste until smooth. Place the mince mixture in a deep, ovenproof dish. Top with potato, using a fork to spread it evenly.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Seave with a salad or with vegetables of your choice.

Step 4

Note: Shepherd's Pie can also be made with leftover lamb from a roast. Cottage Pie is a similar dish, but must be made with beef.
