Sheppard's Pie

This is one of my families favourite dishes...Sheppard's pie. It's my Mums recipe. I thought I would share it with you....

approx 1kg mince
1-2 onions
7-8 spuds
4 carrots
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons (or to taste) tomato sauce
pepper
2 oxo cubes
1 tablespoon plain flour
1 cup tasty grated cheese

Chop onion and carrot and place in fry pan with about 1-2 tbsp of marge. Cook until onion is soft. Peel spuds and boil. Add mince to fry pan of onions and carrots, cook until browned. Add tomato sauce, pepper and worcestershire sauce to taste. Add plain flour and mix for 1 minute - stirring so it doesn't stick.

Fill a jug with boiling water with 2 oxo cubes in, mix then add to frying pan, turn heat down and simmer for few minutes...keep stirring.

Place fry pan mixture in heat proof dish, mash spuds and place on top of mince, then sprinkle cheese on top and place in oven until cheese melts and browns....Then enjoy....It's simple and delicious...try it yourself !
