Cottage Pie Potato Skillet

Ingredients

• 560g Beef mince
• 4 potatoes Potatoes
• 180g Frozen peas
• 2 carrots Carrot
• 1 onion Brown onion
• 240g Canned tomatoes

Method

1. Prep the ingredients Preheat the grill to high. Set out beef mince, potato, peas, carrot, onion and canned tomatoes. Wash, trim, and chop carrot and onion before heating the pan. Measure canned tomatoes.
2. Cook the potatoes Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut into 3 cm chunks. Put them in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Leave to boil for 15-18 minutes until very tender while you cook the filling in the following steps.
3. Cook the filling While the potatoes boil, heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add two tablespoons of water. Cook the beef mince in it for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned with no pink remaining (75C on a food thermometer), then add peas, carrot and onion and cook for 6-8 minutes until softened.
4. Moisten the filling Stir in canned tomatoes and simmer for 5-8 minutes until the mixture is thick, not watery. Take the filling pan off the heat while you finish the potatoes.
5. Assemble Drain the potatoes once they are very tender, then mash. Spoon the filling into an oven-safe dish, then spread the mashed potato evenly over the top.
6. Finish Put the dish under the grill for 3-5 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the filling is hot throughout.
7. Serve Divide into hearty serves, keeping the potato and filling together so each portion has both layers.
