Ingredients
- Potato
- Minced Beef
- Onion
- Carrots
- Peas
Method
- Prepare the food by chopping the onions and carrots into handy fryable pieces.
- Start boiling the potatoes
- Continue boiling the potatoes
- Seriously, the potatoes take the longest.
- About half way through boiling you want to add the carrots and 5 minutes later add the Peas
- Start frying the mince and onions
- By now you should have a frying pan full of nice smelling mince and onions, and a saucepan of ready-to-mash potato, peas and carrots.
- Guess….Mash the contents of the saucepan (drain first)
- Grab an oven-proof bowl of some kind (casserole dish??) And first add the mince and onions.
- Next create a layer of mash, this serves as the topping.
- Bake at a suitable heat (I find medium is good) for about 10-15 minutes, I have no idea why this step exists, all the food is cooked. I just do it because I am waiting for the side of chips to finish baking and the side of peas to boil.
- Eat!
I hope you enjoyed Cooking with Jamie, tune in next time when I will be telling you how to make Jamie’s Homemade Chips!
Jamie Is Awesome. Enough said really. If there was a prize for the most awesome person in the universe...ok it probably wouldn't go to him, Neal Patrick Harris and Hugh Laurie would beat him hands down but Jamie would come in a close 67th.
After a tabloid scandal involving a heavy night of drinking, a church and a teacup he was confined to the darkness of the computer lab where he spent many a day and night perfecting his coding ability.
His amazing ability to code like no man before or after him led to the invention of not only this website but several other pointless sites.
