Serves: 4 Beany Shepherd’s Pie
Prep time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 35 mins
Ingredients:
1 tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
350g pack of lean minced beef (less than 10% fat)
1 tin (420g) baked beans (reduced salt)
1 small tin (200g) chopped tomatoes
¾ cup vegetable stock, salt reduced
1 tbsp mixed herbs
Pinch of pepper
4 large potatoes, mashed with a dash of reduced fat milk
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Cook the chopped onion in the small amount of oil until softened.
- Stir in the lean minced beef, brown for 5 minutes, add beans, chopped tomatoes and stock.
- Season and simmer for 5 minutes then pour into a baking dish.
- Add the mashed potatoes in a thick layer on top of the mince.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes (or until the mashed potato is golden brown) on 200°C, and your Beany Shepherd’s Pie is ready to serve.
Tips:
- Try using low salt vegetable stock.
- Sprinkled grated reduced fat cheese on the top for a crispy topping before cooking.
- Baked beans are high in protein, fibre and low in fat. Some varieties can be high in salt though, so look out for a salt reduced option.
