One of the meals I regularly made for my family was fish pie, white fish in a cheese or parsley sauce mixed with mashed potatoes. This was so my one fussy eater wouldn't refuse to eat it, I sprinkled it with grated cheese and browned it in the oven.
The amount of fish included depended on how much I could afford so my children nicknamed the dish Hunt the Fish Pie! It was always a popular meal, so cheap and tasty.
Today I made Hunt the Shepherd's Pie although I have no idea whether the mince I used was lamb, beef or turkey. When I purchased it I divided each pack into four and froze them individually. I didn't label any of it because I don't care what meat I'm using.
So I started with a small block of mince that I had defrosted and to it I added the following veg, all chopped into smallish dice. Carrots, onion, red pepper, cherry tomatoes and spinach. I also added a handful of oats and some red lentils. As it's just for me and I'm not trying to deceive a fussy eater I haven't grated the vegetables, they are all in chunks. When I made this for my children the vegetables were all grated.
I shall top this with mashed potatoes and serve with broccoli. I'm feeling hungry already so I will eat soon.
