Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Melt half the butter in a non-stick pan. Cook the onion for 3-4 mins, then increase the heat and add the mince. Fry for a further 3-4 mins until the beef has browned. Stir in the stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato purée and some seasoning. Gently bubble for 15-20 mins until the mince is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  2. To assemble, cut the jacket potato in half lengthways and scoop the flesh into a small bowl, leaving the skin intact. Mash the potato with the remaining butter and season well. Divide the mince between the potato skins, then cover with the mash. Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese, then bake for 15-20 mins until golden. Serve with your favourite veg.

    Lovely twist on cottage / shepherd's pie, but definitely a weekend meal as it's quite time-consuming. Looks a lot more attractive on the plate than a collapsing dollop of your normal cottage pie! I can imagine this would work very well with chilli or bolognese too...

    I did enjoy these but really they are just cottage pie, so i dont think its worth the faff, also there wasnt enough potatoe so would suggest cooking an extra potatoe to make extra mash

    I'm eating this right now. Good idea and a very tasty sauce (a splash of red wine and longer cooking of the sauce enhanced the dish). Delicious

    so glad i found this recipe. made the fillings before with different recipes, but not as tasty. however, i did add a little more of tomato puree and beef bouillon cube to make it a bit thicker and tastier. definitely a keeper. thanks!
