Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F.
- Heat the oil in large frying pan and saute the onions until softened, then add the garlic and heat for 2 minutes.
- Raise the heat, add the ground beef and cook quickly to brown, stirring occasionally.
- Once browned, add the carrots, celery, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, worchestershire sauce, salt & pepper and cook several minutes.
- Stir in the flour, then add the stock and wine and heat until simmering and thickened.
- Transfer the meat to a large casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 1 hour.
- Check the consistency from time to time and add a little more stock or wine if required.
- The meat mixture should be quite thick but not dry.
- Taste and season with more salt and pepper if required.
- While meat is cooking, make the mashed potatoes.
- Cook the peeled potatoes in salted water for approximately 15 - 20 min or until tender.
- Drain well and mash with a potato masher until smooth.
- Add the butter and milk (if the mixture is too dry, add milk a little at a time).
- On top of the meat mixture, spread the peas on half of the casserole and the corn on the other half (or whichever vegetables you prefer).
- Pipe or spread the potatoes on top of the vegetables.
- Increase the oven heat to 205°C or 400°F and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until till golden brown.
- You can choose to finish it off under the broiler for a few minutes for a really crisp brown topping.
