Rustic Italian Beef, Bacon & Potato Pie

with Mushroom, Spinach & Parmesan

This one is in a comfy and homey league of its own. We’ve taken your favourite parts of a ragu, switched out the standard topping for a potato mash and whipped it all up just like a cottage pie.

Due to recent weather, you may see a few more potatoes in your meal kit this week! Sizes are a bit smaller right now, so our team picks enough to match your recipe. Big or small, you’ll always have the right amount for dinner.

Cooking Steps

Make the potato mash
1

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook cauliflower and potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan. Add the milk, half the butter and a generous pinch of salt. Mash until smooth and cover to keep warm. TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled! Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes and cauliflower!

Get prepped
2

• While the veggies are cooking, pick thyme leaves.

Cook the beef & bacon
3

• Preheat grill to high. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms, stirring, 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. • Add diced bacon and beef mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just golden, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Drain oil from pan after cooking the beef mince for best results!

Make it saucy
4

• Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato paste, thyme and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add chicken-style stock powder, the water, brown sugar and remaining butter and cook, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach leaves until wilted.

Bake the pie
5

• Transfer the filling to a baking dish and spread evenly with the cauli-potato mash. • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper. • Grill pie until the top is lightly golden, 5-10 minutes. Little cooks: Join in on the fun by smoothing the mash mixture evenly over the pie!

Finish & serve
6

• Divide the Italian beef, bacon and mushroom ragu pie with cauli-potato mash between plates to serve. Enjoy!
