The goodness of our cottage pie lies beneath its smooth, cheesy mash topping. Pan-fried beef mince soaks in rich stock, ramping up in flavour before you scoop it out and serve with Tenderstem broccoli. (With absolutely no artificial colours or flavours.)

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Boil a kettle
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiled water, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 10-12 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry
2
While the potatoes are cooking, re-boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop the red onion[s]
Top, tail, and dice the carrot[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
3
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped onion, carrot and garlic and cook for 3-4 min or until beginning to soften
Meanwhile, dissolve the Kallo beef stock cube[s]and tomato paste in 250ml [400ml] boiled water and stir in the Marmite – this is your tomato stock
4
Once the vegetables have softened, add the beef mince and cook for 3-4 min or until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Grate the cheddar cheese
Once the beef is browned, add the tomato stock to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Season with a grind of black pepper and cook for 4-5 min or until slightly thickened – this is your beef mixture
5
While the beef mixture thickens, return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a large knob of butter, a splash of milk and a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Mash until smooth
6
Once the beef mixture has thickened, transfer it to an oven-proof dish
Top with the mashed potato and sprinkle over the grated cheese
Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown and bubbling – this is your cottage pie
7
While your cottage pie is cooking, re-boil a kettle
Add the Tenderstem broccoli to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, cook for 3-4 min or until tender with a slight bite, then drain and season with a pinch of salt
