4. Hints and Alternatives

Hints 

  • This dish can be made in advance & heated up when required.
  • You can buy ready made mash potato it most supermarkets.
  • Rather than stock pots you can use gravy granules (Bisto, Oxo etc) or Cubes (Oxo) or any supermarket own brand equivalent.

Alternates  

You can use this mince as a base for other dishes  –

By adding some cooked diced carrots to the mince, you can then spread the mix in the bottom of a baking dish and top with mashed potato, then cook in the oven at 160℃ for approx. 30-40 mins for a Cottage Pie.
