This classic mince and potato bake is the ultimate comfort food. It features savory seasoned beef layered between tender potato slices and topped with bubbling, melted cheese.

This dish is can well with a grean sala or vegetables like beans, broccoli or peas and garlic bread if you are looking for something heartier.

For the best mince and potato bake, allow the mince to simmer until the sauce has thickened, as excess liquid can leave the bake soggy. To create an extra creamy and flavourful potato topping, stir a handful of grated Parmesan into the mashed potatoes before spreading them over the mince.

Enhance the savoury flavour of the filling by adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a splash of soy sauce while it simmers.

If you prefer a more traditional cottage pie, simply swap the beef mince for lamb mince.
