Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 20 mins, then drain and mash with the butter, milk and seasoning. Stir in the Red Leicester or cheddar.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and fry the onion,stirring frequently, for 5 mins until softened. Add the sausages and break them up with a wooden spoon until you get a texture similar to chunky mince. Pour in the stock and simmer for 8 mins.

  • step 3

    Spoon the sausage mixture into 4 individual pie dishes. Top with the cheesy mash. You can freeze the pies for up to 2 months. Simply thaw in the fridge before baking. Bake for 25-30 mins until starting to turn golden. Top with the tomato wedges and serve with your child’s favourite veg or baked beans.

This made seven toddler meals (with some leftover mash) which I froze. I'm a long-time vegan learning to cook meat for my omnivorous son and found this recipe very easy. Made with low salt veg stock instead of chicken and chucked a couple of handfuls of frozen peas into the pie mix. Next time I'll…
