1.
Start by adding the potatoes and cauliflower to a large pan of boiling water. Leave for 12-14 minutes until tender.
2.
Next, add the beef mince to a pan and fry off until browned.
3.
Once browned, add in the carrot, celery and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until soft.
4.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
5.
In a jug add the beef stock, gravy granules and hot water together.
6.
Add the chopped garlic, tomato puree and worcestershire sauce to the pan, along with the mixed herbs, salt, pepper and beef gravy mix. If the gravy is too thick for you loosen with a little more hot water. Return to heat for a couple of minutes and then remove the pan setting to one side to cool.
7.
Once the potato and cauliflower is cooked, drain and season with salt and pepper. Add in the butter, along with the milk and mash smooth. Again leave to cool for a few minutes.
8.
When ready to assemble, add the beef mince first to a pie tin (I used 26cm). Dollop on the potato mix before using a fork to spread around. Add the grated cheddar and parmesan on top.
9.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
10.
Remove and leave for a couple of minutes before slicing in half and serving.
11.
Garnish with the fresh parsley.
Meal prepping
1.
Divide equally into airtight containers. Allow to cool before placing in the fridge. This will keep 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Reheat
1.
Oven: cover the pie and cook for 20 minutes at 180 degrees celsius. Microwave: for a few minutes on full power covered, until piping. Add a splash of water or stock if needed.

We usually like ours with some greens like broccoli or green cabbage with extra gravy. If you're hungry like we were, I just threw in some roasties and used the rest of the carrots up

I made a huge batch of this for my family to help them with quick meals while my mum recovers from surgery. Glowing reviews all round, thankfully, as there are now 10 portions in the freezer 🤣 this was so comforting 😍

This is the second time I've made this and was soooo much better than the first time though not sure why. Perfect cosy Sunday dining when its cold and wet outside. There was no time for straight from oven pics so we need to settle for the leftovers that went to work with the husband on Monday, which he said were awesome then too!!

Made up with this, feel like a proper chef 🤣 didn’t put my cheddar on until 5 mins near the end as I’m not a fan of well cooked cheese. Had a cheeky taster before dishing out for my meal preps and wow this is sensational!!! Thanks again Alex ☺️
