This is in comfort food category. A base of rich, savoury minced beef slow-simmered with onions, carrots, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce — topped with a golden crust of creamy mashed potatoes. Nothing fancy. Just honest, hearty comfort, made with what’s usually knocking about in the fridge.
It’s the kind of meal that fills the house with a quiet warmth while it bakes.
Serve and eat it from the deep sided dish you’ve cooked it in with a side of nothing. Well that’s what I do. It doesn’t need anything else. This is a meal that remembers, reassures, and restores.
For the nights when the world feels a bit sharp around the edges — this this your blunt instrument of comfort.
Great to prepare the day before and leave in the fridge to chill. Bring out an hour ahead of cooking
