Notes:
Uses a half recipe (4 person serving) of Basic mince/ground beef recipe, listed on BuddySlim
About 20 minutes preparation and 30-40 minutes cooking (15-20 mins for potatoes, 15-20 mins for completed pie). Can be prepared in advance and microwaved or put in the oven to reheat. The oven gives a crispier top to the potato.

Variations I have used to make a one dish meal.
Add 1-2 cups of thawed, frozen peas
Add a 1-2 cups finely diced or grated/shredded courgette (zucchini)
Serve with green vegetables such as broccoli, peas, green beans, and maybe a big spoonful of Tomato Fill-Me-Up for a healthy and filling meal.
Needs an ovenproof dish, such as a lasagne dish or pyrex dish approx 20 x 20cm (8″ x 8″) or 15 x 25cm (6″ x 9.5″)
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
? recipe (4 person serving) Basic mince/ground beef recipe
750gm (1? lbs) potatoes
75ml (? cup) skimmed milk or buttermilk
2 tablespoons toasted breadcrumbs (optional)
200gm (?lb) fresh mushrooms) optional
1 calorie oil (optional)
1 tablespoon flour (optional)
Handful chives or 2-3 scallions/spring onions (optional)
Directions:
1.
Peel the potatoes and put on to boil, cooking until soft (about 15-20 minutes).
Meanwhile:
2. If including mushrooms in the recipe, clean and slice them. Put them in a pan over medium of heat with a couple of squirts of the 1cal olive oil and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, reducing the heat as necessary. Add the flour and stir into any juice that has come out of the mushrooms.
3. Add the mince mixture and cook until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Season to taste, using fresh black pepper and salt if necessary.
5. Put this mixture into an ovenproof dish with room for the potato topping.
6. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and put them back on the hob/stove and add the milk so it has time to heat up slightly.
7. Remove from the heat and mash, seasoning as required. The mash should be fluffy and lump free. You can also add a handful of finely chopped chives or spring onions/scallions if you wish.
8. Lay this over the meat mixture and mark it in ridges with a fork, then, if using, sprinkle over either the toasted breadcrumbs or some chopped spring onions work well, or leave plain.
9. Put in a preheated oven, 200C/400F for 15-20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
