Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Vita D’or sunflower oil
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 250g Dulano smoked bacon lardons
- 1kg Inisvale Irish beef lean steak mince
- 2 tbsp Fresh Meadow organic tomato ketchup
- 3 tbsp steak house marinade
- 10 medium potatoes peeled and halved
- 4 parsnips peeled and cut into chunks
- 200g Manor Vale grated medium cheddar
- Splash of Morning Fresh milk
- 1 tbsp Dairy Manor butter
Method
- 1. Put the onion and bacon into the pot with the sunflower oil and cook slowly for 15 minutes with a lid on the pot, stirring every now and then.
- 2. Turn up the heat and start to colour the onions and bacon with the lid off for a further 5 minutes until they start to brown, the bottom of the pot will colour as well but that’s ok.
- 3. Add the steak mince and break up, cook for 5 minutes.
- 4. Meanwhile put the potatoes and parsnips on the boil.
- 5. Add the steak marinade and ketchup to the mince and cook for a further 15 minutes, season and set aside.
- 6. When the potatoes and parsnips are cooked, drain, add the milk, butter, salt and pepper and mash until you get the texture you like.
- 7. Place the meat into a baking dish or divide between 2 dishes if freezing, top with the mash and then cheese (it’s at this point that the dish is ready for freezing).
- 8. Bake in an oven at 180°c/Gas Mark 4 for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- 9.
