Cheesy Cottage Pie

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp 15ml olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 carrot peeled and diced
  • 500 g lean beef mince
  • 2 Tbsp 15ml tomato paste
  • 500 ml 2 cups beef or lamb stock
  • 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup 125ml frozen peas
  • For the cheesy mash:
  • 6 large potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 Tbsp 15ml butter
  • ¼ cup 60ml milk
  • ½ cup 125ml grated mature cheddar cheese + ¼ cup (60ml) for the topping
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the onion and carrot and brown for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the mince and fry for a further 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, followed by the stock and rosemary. Bring up to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes until reduced.
  • Add the peas and remove the pan from the heat.
  • For the mash; while the potatoes are still warm, add the butter and milk and mash well. Add the grated cheese and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Spoon the meat sauce into a large oven-proof dish and top with the cheesy mashed potato - smooth over with the back of a spoon.
  • Top with the remaining grated cheddar cheese and pop into a preheated 200 oC oven for 8-10 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
