Shepherd's Pie with Baked beans
This is my version of this hearty English meal, made with baked beans and tomatoes. It's a meal on its own or can be stretched further by serving with vegetables or salad.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 500g lamb (or beef) mince
- 1 tin baked beans
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 beef stock cube
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4-5 large potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons of Gravox or gravy mix
- 1 onion, chopped
- 12 button mushrooms, sliced
Directions

Ready in:55min
- Peel and chop the potatoes, and place into a pot to boil with a pinch of salt.
- Brown the mince in a pan, adding the Worcestershire sauce and the stock cube. Add the mushrooms and finely chopped onion and stir through and cook for 5-7 minutes
- Place the cooked mince mixture in the bottom of a large casserole dish, and add the baked beans and tomatoes. Turn on oven oven to 200 degrees C and leave the casserole to warm through while the potatoes finish cooking.
- Once your potatoes are finished, drain and mash them, adding the butter and milk to make a creamy mix. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and sprinkle the mince mix with the gravy mix stirring until the mixture becomes thick.
- Very carefully dollop the potato in blobs over the top of the thickened mix and gently spread it out to make a pie top, rake it over with a fork and place back in the oven.
- Cook for 10 minutes or until the topping is golden and crispy.

Oh so good! Didn't look like it would be but it was amazing! I would have started the meat before the potatoes though as it took longer. I also used beef since I had it on hand, corn instead of carrots, added a little extra worcestershire sauce and used the IKEA meatball gravy mix. The whole family was quiet while gobbling it down. The 2 yr old came back after dinner to clean her plate and the picky 5 yr old asked for more! - 27 Jan 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Something else. Add some cheese to your mash and place some more grated cheese to the top, always popular with the kids. - 23 Sep 2009 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
