Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
-
Boil a kettle
-
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small bite-sized pieces
-
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiled water, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 10-12 min or until fork-tender

While the potatoes are cooking, reboil half a kettle

Create mirepoix using celery, pepper, and carrot
-
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
-
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
-
Once hot, add the mirepoix and chopped garlic and cook for 3-4 min or until beginning to soften
-
Meanwhile, dissolve the beef stock mix with tomato paste in 350ml boiled water in a jug
-
Once the vegetables have softened, add the lamb mince to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go

Grate the cheddar cheese

Once the lamb has browned, add the tomato stock to the pan along with the worcestershire sauce and bring to the boil over a high heat

Season with a grind of black pepper and cook for 4-5 min or until slightly thickened

While the lamb mixture thickens, return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a small knob of butter, a splash of milk and a pinch of salt and pepper

Mash until smooth

Once the lamb mixture has thickened, transfer it to an oven-proof dish

Top with the mashed potato and sprinkle over the grated cheese
