Johnnie’s Shepherds Pie step by step

1. Diced up the potatoes and add in boiling water with some salt. I like to leave the potato skins on as they have lots of nutrients and vitamins - potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B-6, niacin, and thiamine..
2. Dice up the onion and minced the garlic.
3. Mashed up the cooked potatoes, add salt and pepper to taste. I’ve also added a half a small tea spoon of minced garlic with some unsalted butter to enhance the flavour.
4. Blanched a cup of frozen vegetables.
5. Cook the mince meat on a hot skillet. As the meat has a bit of fat, I didn’t use any oil. Once it’s almost done, add in the onion, garlic and vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes..
6. Add in the can of tomato sauce (substitutes - can of tomatoes or tomato purée), and the dried herbs. If you like a bit of sweetness and a hint of mild heat, add in sweet chili sauce (this is optional).
7. Add in salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens..
8. Once the mince meat is done, spoon it into an oven proof dish. I’ve topped it up with some cheese before adding the mash potatoes on top..
9. Once you topped up the potatoes, add more cheese before putting it into a preheated oven for 15mins or until you can see the bubbling sauce on the side of the oven dish..
10. Once it’s done, it should have a golden brown top. I like to sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan on the top before serving..
