Ingredients

1 tsp Cooking oil

1 Onion, finely diced

2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 Carrots, finely diced

500g Lean Beef Mince

400g Tin Chopped tomatoes

200g Frozen broccoli, cauliflower & carrot

1 Vegetable stock cube, dissolved in 100ml of boiling water

1kg Potatoes, washed, peeled & diced

50g Reduced fat spread

Method

1
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and in a large frying pan, heat the oil. Sauté the onion, carrot, and garlic on a medium to heat until fragrant and translucent, then add the beef mince. Turn up the heat for 4-5 minutes and fry until the mince is evenly browned.
2
Meanwhile, peel, halve and boil the potatoes for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain and allow to steam for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, 160°C. Add the tinned tomatoes, stock cube to the mince mixture and season to taste. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes to reduce. Finally add the frozen mixed vegetables and mix through, allow to cook for a further 10 minutes.
3
Once the potatoes have steamed, mash them well with the low fat spread until melted and mixed through, season to taste. Pour the mince mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the mash. Use a fork to rough up the top to help it colour. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until piping hot and golden in colour.
