Ingredients
- 500 grams/ 1 pound Beef Mince/Ground Beef
- 1 medium Red onion diced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons Curry Powder (see Note 1)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 Beef stock cube, crumbled
- 200 gram/7 ounces Mild Old El Paso Taco Sauce in a Jar
- 410 gram/14 ounces Chopped Tomatoes in a tin
- 1 tablespoon Tamari or Light Soy sauce
- 700 grams/25 ounces Sweet Potato
- 1 cup Mixed frozen veges
- 3 or 4 Lasagne sheets
- ¼ cup Grated Cheese
Instructions
- Potatoes: Heat a saucepan of water on the stove and add sweet potato. Bring to the boil. When potatoes are soft, remove from heat and mash with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C/350 F.
- Beef: Heat a pan on high heat on the stove, and lightly cook the onion and garlic for 1 minute.
- Add the beef mince to the pan, breaking it into pieces so it cooks evenly. Use a spatula to break up the mince further and brown the meat.
- Once meat is cooked reduce heat to low to medium, add the curry powder, salt, tomato paste and beef stock cube crumbled up. Stir to combine – about another minute.
- Add the Taco Sauce, tomatoes and soy sauce and stir in.
- Add the frozen veges and stir in for another minute until combined.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Assembly: In a rectangle oven proof dish, add half of the mince, next add the lasagne sheets (3 or 4 depending on how big your dish is), then add the second half of the mince and pat down with a spatula.
- Finally add the mashed sweet potato, using a fork to spread it out across the mince. Sprinkle the grated cheese on and bake for 30 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 2 minutes on a pot stand before serving.
- Serving Suggestion: Steamed green beans, or steamed broccoli
Notes
- 1. I use Keens Curry Powder, but any type of dry curry powder would work.
- This Shepherds Pie Lasagne freezes really well. Any leftovers can be portioned out into freezer containers for midweek meals.
- If not freezing leftovers, store covered in the fridge and eat within 2 to 3 days.
