Potato Topped Casserole

Serves 6 | Prep 15min | Cook 25-30min

Ingredients

• 1kg potatoes, quartered
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 3 carrots, finely diced
• 1 leek, chopped
• 400g beef mince
• 400g pork mince
• 4 tbsp flour
• 350ml beef stock
• 200ml red wine (or replace with more stock)
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and Pepper
• Handful chopped parsley

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray, toss with 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden.

2. While the potatoes are baking, heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof casserole dish, then fry the onions, garlic, carrots, leek and mince for 5 minutes to brown. Stir in the flour, then the stock, wine, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, uncovered, on a middle shelf in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

3. Once the potatoes are cooked, gently crush slightly with the bottom of a jar, then scatter the parsley on top. Once the mince is cooked, remove the bay leaf, add the potatoes on top and serve!
