So on this sunny, but freezing day, my thoughts turn to comfort food. Comfort food comprising of namely beef mince (ground beef). Granted, my thoughts were led that way by a friend of mine who doesn't know what to do with his beef (ok, I should've prob said "mince").
Well, Ags, here's the recipe!
You need:
Beef mince (150g or thereabouts)
Olive oil/butter
1 large onion
Chilli beef soup powder (or any other flavour)
3 or 4 large potatoes
A medium sized baking dish*
How to do it:
1. In a pot, fry onions in a little oil till brown.
2. Add the mince and brown over med heat.
3. Dissolve some of the soup powder in hot water (about 1/3 cup) and add this to the mince.
4. Allow to simmer for 10 mins. Remove from heat.
5. Boil and mash the potatoes, adding salt and pepper as required (lumps don't matter).
6. Preheat oven to 180 C.
7. Assemble: Mince at the bottom and mash potato on top. Score the surface with a fork (mashed potato should be rough).
8. Drizzle some olive oil (or put dollops of butter) on top and bake till golden brown.
*Baking dish should not be too wide, or it'll be too thin. It can still be made, but more potatoes may be needed.
NB: Other vegetables may be added.
The amount of soup depends on the amount of gravy needed, it's all personal preference!
Can substitute soup for can of tomato puree or fresh tomatoes.
