- 500g beef mince
- 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped (2 diced, 2 into chunks)
- 1 or 2 handfuls frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons plain flour

- Heat a pan and add the mince. Fry for 6 mins, stirring occasionally, until browned.
- Add the onion and diced carrots and cook for a further 2 mins. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 min.
- Add the stock to the pan, stirring, then add the Worcestershire sauce and tomato puree. Season with black pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-15mins, removing the lid for the final 5 mins and adding the peas.
- Meanwhile, cook the potatoes and chunks of carrots in a large pan of water for 15 mins or until both are soft. Drain well then mash with the butter. Season with black pepper. Cover and set to one side.
- Spoon the mince into a large shallow dish, then top with the carrot and potato mash, smoothing the surface. Place under a preheated grill for 4-5mins or until the top is golden brown.
