Main Ingredients

800g white potatoes, peeled and chopped into roughly 4cm chunks

250g pack Asda Flavourful Reduced Fat Beef Steak Mince (typically less than 12% fat)

1 onion, grated

3 medium carrots (about 300g), grated

2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes

From your store cupboard

1 tbsp Cook by Asda Mixed Herbs (dried)

2 tsp sugar or honey, optional

1 low-salt beef stock cube, crumbled

Splash of milk

Method

Add the potatoes to a pan of salted cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for another 10–12 mins until completely tender, drain well, season, then mash with a splash of milk.

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan with a lid over a medium heat and cook the mince for 5–6 mins, breaking up with a wooden spoon, draining away any liquid as you go, until browned all over. Season well and remove with a slotted spoon.

Add the onion and carrot to the pan and cook for another 3–4 mins until beginning to soften.

Mix in the tomatoes, lentils, dried herbs, sugar or honey if using, stock cube and mince. Bring to the boil then cover with the lid and bubble on a high heat for 5 mins.

Preheat the grill to high. Add the mince to a medium-sized baking dish and spread over the mash. Grill for 6–8 mins until golden and bubbling then serve.

A little leftover but not enough for another meal? Freeze for stirring into future Bolognese, chilli or cottage pie sauces. The mashed potato top will help thicken and enrich the base, the lentils will boost the health benefits.
