Gourmet cottage pie with crispy cheesy potato topping and smoky bacon mince. Guaranteed to impress with no leftovers!
Ingredients:
  • 500g beef mince
  • 3 rindless hickory-smoked bacon rashers, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled, finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 70g (1⁄4 cup) tomato paste
  • 250ml (1 cup) Beef Style Liquid Stock
  • 48.80 gm Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 150g (1 cup) frozen peas, thawed
  • 500g packet frozen pommes
  • 55g (1 ⁄2 cup) four cheese blend
  • Finely chopped fresh continental parsley leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 230°C (210°C fan forced).
  • In a 24cm (top measurement) frying pan over medium-high heat, heat half of the oil. Add the beef and cook for 5 minutes until browned, stirring to break up any lumps. Transfer the beef to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan and sauté the bacon, onion, carrot, and celery for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and flour, cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined. Gradually pour in the stock, then add beef, tomato, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Finish by adding the peas and seasoning to taste.
  • While you wait, prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper. Lay out the potatoes on the tray. Bake for 15 minutes, shaking the tray occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  • Preheat the grill to high. Smooth the top of the mince mixture with a spoon. Discard the bay leaves. Layer the pommes over the mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Grill for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Garnish with parsley before serving.
