  • 1 packet diced bacon
  • 1 sachet vegetable stock powder
  • 1 sachet italian herbs
  • 1 packet parmesan cheese
  • olive oil
  • 4 potatoes
  • 80 gr butter
  • 4 milks
  • 1 bag soffritto mix
  • 1 packet beef mince

Instructions

  1. • Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water then add a generous pinch of salt.
    • Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
    • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan.
    • Add the butter and milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth.
    TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
  2. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beef mince and diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 6-7 minutes (for best results, drain oil from pan before adding the veggies).
    • Stir in soffritto mix, cook, tossing until softened, 4-5 minutes.
    • Add garlic paste, Italian herbs and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
    • Stir in the water, vegetable stock powder and the brown sugar and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
    • Add baby spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste.
  3. • Preheat grill to medium-high.
    • Transfer beef filling to a baking dish. Spread mash over the top. Sprinkle over Parmesan cheese.
    • Grill until the mash is golden, 5-10 minutes.
  4. • Divide Italian beef, bacon and spinach pie with cheesy potato topping between plates to serve. Enjoy
