Instructions

  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 200℃ (180℃ fan)/400F (350F fan).
  • Add the potato chunks to a large saucepan of salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes cook, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the lamb mince and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  • Stir in the tomato puree and tomato ketchup.
  • Add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, crumbled stock cube, thyme, all purpose seasoning, and mixed herbs. Add a splash of water if needed to help it simmer.
  • Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for a further 3 to 5 minutes until hot through and the filling is saucy but not watery.
  • Tip the mince mixture into a baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  • Drain the potatoes well, then mash until smooth. Stir in the milk, butter, Greek yoghurt, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  • Spoon the mash over the mince layer and spread to cover. Rough up the surface with a fork.
  • Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the mash.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden.
  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving and enjoy!

Notes

Recipes Notes:
  • If the filling looks dry before adding the veg, add a small splash of water to keep it saucy.
  • Roughing up the mash helps the top crisp and brown more evenly.
  • Times are estimates and will vary by hob strength, pan size, and potato variety
