This version sound great but this traditional leftovers dish, for purists it wouldn't have had herbs, garlic, wine or parmesan in it. Although it is now often made with mince, as its such a loved dish, it originally was made from the minced leftover meat from roast beef. Mash should have top of the milk and a good dollop of butter but no cheese. The cheese goes on top and you need to bake for at least 30 minutes so the top goes really crusty and the juice bubbles up to make scrummy volcanoes.
Alternate beef and 1/4ed onions through a mincer, place into a deep pie dish and add in sliced carrots and/or swede or anything else to bulk it out, mix in a tablespoon of flour and pour over some beef stock. Cover with mash and top with cheese then chuck in the oven.
This is a much loved dish, probably one of the most popular comfort foods we have in England. Everyones favourite version is their mums!
Actually I do have friends that throw a can of baked beans in so anything you like goes.
