Method
0 of 8 done- Peel and dice the potato. Place in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, peel and dice the carrot and onion. In a pan over medium heat, saute the carrot and onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced beef to the pan with the carrot and onion. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the beef stock, stir well, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat the oven to 180oC (350oF). Transfer the beef mixture to an oven-proof dish and spread the mashed potatoes on top, ensuring a smooth, even layer.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
