🛒 INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp (30ml) oil
1 onion, finely chopped
500g PnP lean beef mince
½ cup (125ml) All Gold Tomato Sauce
70g All Gold Original Tomato Paste
1 x 400g can All Gold Tomato & Onion Mix
1 cup (250ml) beef stock
2 Tbsp (30ml) chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper for seasoning
PnP All Purpose potatoes 2kg, peeled and quartered
½ cup (125ml) milk
50g butter
1 large egg, beaten
👩🍳 METHOD
Step 1: The Bolognaise Base
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and mince, and fry until the mince is cooked through and lightly browned. Add the All Gold Tomato Sauce, All Gold Original Tomato Paste, and All Gold Tomato & Onion Mix, and mix well. Then stir in the stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the fresh basil, and season to taste.
Step 2: The Creamy Mash
Place the potatoes in cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 20–30 minutes or until cooked through and soft. Drain off the liquid and mash. Whisk in the milk and butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Pour the bolognaise into an ovenproof dish and top with the creamy mash. Spread it evenly with a fork and, using a pastry brush, brush with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
