Ingredients
Cook

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 celery stick, finely diced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
500 g lean beef mince
1 tsp flour
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Knorr Beef Stock Pot dissolved 400 millilitres boiling water
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs thyme
2 carrots, diced
700 g potatoes, peeled and quartered
70 ml semi-skimmed milk, warmed
30 g Flora Buttery
A pinch of nutmeg
30 g cheddar cheese, grated

1 Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onions and celery and cook gently for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds.
2 Add the minced beef and cook for 8-12 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mince is thoroughly browned. Stir in the flour and tomato puree and then add the Worcestershire sauce.
3 Add the Knorr Beef Stock, bay leaf and fresh thyme. Bring to the boil stirring continuously. Add the carrots and reduce the heat, cover with a lid and leave on a very gentle simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender.
4 Meanwhile, for the mash, place the potatoes into cold water. Bring to the boil then reduce to a gently simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the pan. Add the milk, Flora Buttery, and the nutmeg and then mash together thoroughly.
5 Place the mince and vegetables into a warmed ovenproof dish and remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Top evenly with mashed potato and sprinkle top with the Cheddar cheese.
6 Place under a hot grill or in hot oven until the cheese has melted and it is golden and bubbling.
