Method

1
Get the potatoes going first, because these are going to take the longest. Peel them, chop them into chunks and get them into some salted boiling water.
2
Splash of oil into a pan and in with the beef mince. Break it up and let it brown.
3
Add the diced onion, carrot and mixed veg. Give everything a good mix and let those vegetables soften.
4
Add the tomato purée, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and a little bit of thyme. Big stir, and let it simmer away.
5
Come back to the potatoes. When they are soft all the way through, drain them and mash them with the butter and milk. Hit them with a little salt.
6
Get the mince mixture into an oven dish and spread the mashed potato over the top.
7
Give the top a few little lines with your fork, and into the oven at 200C for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden.
