Quorn Shepherds Pie With Cheesy Top Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to gas mark 6.
• In a large saucepan birng some water to the boil and the salt and the potatoes simmer until tender about 15-20 minute.
• Whilst you potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry the onions carrots celery and leeks together for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Transfer into a large casserole dish. (The reason why I have separated out step 1 and 2 is because my frying pan isn't very big, so I do 2 batches of frying; however if you have a big enough pan you can combine these two steps).
• Next fry the quorn mince with the garlic herbs and one of the 0.5 teaspoon of the nutmeg, after about 2 min add one cup of the water and the stock cubes fry gently for about 5 minutes, transfer to the large casserole dish.
• Add to the casserole dish the 2 remaining cups of water, gravy granules and tomato paste; give a good stir and put dish in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Mash your potatoes with the milk and margarine, adding the remaining nutmeg until smooth and creamy. Spread the mash over the quorn mixture. Make lines with a fork if you wish and sprinkle over the cheese. Put back in the oven for 20 minutes.
• Take out and eat--yum yum.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 minutes until tender
• While boiling, fry the vegetables, adding them to the pan in the order listed.
• Then add all the sauce ingredients except for the corn flour. Once simmered for 5 minutes (or longer if you have time), add the corn flour and simmer until thick.
• Preheat the oven to 200C. Make the mashed potato by mashing the drained potatoes with the other ingredients.
• Put the sauce in the bottom of an ovenproof dish, add the mash on top. You can sprinkle with some reserved cheese if you like. Bake for around 20 minutes, until boiling and golden brown on top. Alternatively, freeze and defrost before baking or bake from frozen which will take longer to cook.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover by 1 inch with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add carrots, celery, onion, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add beef; cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1 cup water; bring to a boil, and simmer 1 minute. Set beef filling aside.
• Drain potatoes; return to pan. Cook over medium, stirring, until liquid has evaporated and a thin film covers bottom of pan, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; add milk and 1 cup cheese. Mash until smooth; season cheddar-potato topping with salt and pepper.
• Pour beef filling into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Drop dollops of topping over filling; spread to edges with a spatula. Using a fork, make decorative peaks; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until topping is browned and filling is bubbling rapidly, about 20 minutes (if topping and filling were chilled, increase to 35 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
