Ingredients

250g Asda Butcher's Selection Lean Beef Steak Mince (or Asda Lean Beef Steak Mince)

1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped

1 tbsp tomato ketchup

100ml beef stock (made with half a stock cube)

1 tbsp brown sauce

Half 400g pack Asda Fresh Tastes Carrot and Peas

2 level tsp cornflour

300g Maris Piper, Desiree or King Edward potatoes (peeled weight), cut into even-sized pieces

300g Asda Sweet Potatoes (peeled weight), cut into even-sized pieces

2 tbsp milk

15g butter

15g grated Cheddar cheese

Asda Trimmed Fine Beans, to serve

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Fry the mince and onion in a non-stick frying pan, stirring often, until the meat just browns. Transfer the mince to a saucepan.
2
Add the stock, tomato ketchup and brown sauce. Season with pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring often, adding a little extra stock if necessary.
3
Stir in the carrots and peas, return to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes. Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp water and stir in. Simmer for 1 minute. Turn into an ovenproof dish.
4
Meanwhile, boil the potatoes and sweet potatoes in seperate saucepans until tender - about 15 minutes for the potatoes and 12 minutes for the sweet potatoes. Drain and return to one pan. Stand it over a very low heat for up to 1 minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Heat the milk and add to the potatoes with the butter. Mash until smooth, season, then spread over the mince.
5
Sprinkle on the cheese and cook for 20 minutes or until piping hot. Serve with the green beans.
