Kickin' Cottage Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Peel the potatoes and put them on to boil.
2. 2
   Slice the carrots and spring onion.
3. 3
   Fry the beef and the onions in a little oil.
4. 4
   Add the salt, pepper and sauce to taste.
5. 5
   (I use a lot of pepper and sauce because I like a strong kick).
6. 6
   When the beef is brown add the stock cube and some water (not too much, just enough to keep the meat moist while it's in the oven).
7. 7
   Mix the meat with the carrots and peas, then spread evenly in an ovenproof dish about 4 inches deep, filling to about 3/4 of the depth.
8. 8
   Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and mix in chopped spring onion.
9. 9
   Spread this over the top of the meat.
10. 10
    The pie should now be level with the top of the dish.
11. 11
    Make pretty patterns with a fork.
12. 12
    Put it in the oven on a medium heat until the top is brown (about 30 minutes usually).
