SHEPHEDS, COTTAGE OR CUMBERLAND PIE

Steps:

• Fry the mince in the oil over a high heat until completely browned and broken down, add the onion half way through.
• Now add the carrots and the crumbled beef stock cube, mix well, add the Worcestershire sauce and the water along with the herbs and cook until almost all of the water has evaporated and the carrots are soft.
• Add the gravy granules and mix well. You should now have quite a thick mixture. You don't want it too thick so add a little more water if needed.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and put into an ovenproof dish.
• Top with the mash potatoes and bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes until browned on top.
