(for 4-6) 2 finely chopped onions 3oz. butter 3/4 lb cooked mince beef or lamb (I use raw and make sure to cook it through) 4 fl. oz. beef stock or gravy (or water) 1 level tbsp tomato ketchup (I use more :-) ) 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce (I use a lot more!) salt and pepper 2 - 3 tbsp milk 1 lb. mashed potatoes
Cook the onions in 1 oz. of the butter until soft; add the meat and cook until lightly brouwn. Stir in the stock, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce; season.
Beat the remaining, melted butter and the milk into the potatoes. Put the meat in a greased ovenproof dish, cover with potato and ripple the top with a fork. Bake near the top of an oven heated to 425F (mark 7) for 30 minuste or until brown.
[I use lots of tomato ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, and then very little other seasoning. I also tend to add peas and chopped carrots so that I don't have to cook a veg to go with it. I experimented with the seasoning until Adrian and I agreed on the best flavor.]
