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.
The quantities provided above are averages only.

• 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!
• While the veggies are cooking, pick thyme leaves.
• 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!
• 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.
• 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!
• Divide the Italian beef, bacon and mushroom ragu pie with cauli-potato mash between plates to serve. Enjoy!
