Heat oil in a fryng pan over a medium heat, add onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add galric, mushrooms, and bacon and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in beef (or ground meat of choice) and cook for 5 minutes or until meat is browned.

Stir in tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, stock, thyme, parsley and black pepper to taste. Bring to simmering, and simmer, uncovered, for 25 - 30 minutes or until mixture reduces and thickens. Spoon meat mixture into an ovenproof deep-dish pie plate, or small casserole dish.

Sprinkle this over the vegetables and bake for 45 minutes or until meat mixture is hot and bubbling and topping is golden.

Serve with a green salad and bread.
