Ingredients
- 500 g lean minced beef

- 3 large carrots peeled and chopped
- 500 ml beef stock made with 2 beef stock cubes
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 600 g potatoes peeled and cut into chunks

Instructions
-
Heat a large pan, spray with low calorie cooking spray and add the mince. Fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add the onion and carrots and cook for a few more minutes.
-
Add the stock to the pan, then add the Worcestershire sauce and stir. Season with black pepper.
-
Bring up to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, removing the lid for the final 5 minutes, and allow to reduce until it thickens.
-
While this is cooking boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water. When they are soft remove from the heat, drain off the water and mash with a little salt and pepper
-
Pour the mince mixture into a large shallow dish and allow to cool slightly. If you don't the mash may sink through the mince.
-
Spoon the mashed potato onto the mince, and run a fork over the top to cover the mince and give it some texture. Alternatively you could pipe the potato on to the top.
-
Place in a pre heated oven (200-220°C) and cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Serve with a selection of vegetables and some pickled beetroot and red cabbage.
