Preparation
Step 1
Put the potatoes and
butternut squash into a large
saucepan. Cover with boiling
water and add a pinch of salt.
Cover and simmer for
15-20 minutes, until tender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a large
saucepan and add the mince
a handful at a time, to sear and
brown it (this is important to
get a good flavour). Add the
onion, carrot and parsley, then
add 300ml (1/2 pint) boiling
water. Simmer without a lid
for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200 C /
fan oven 180 C / Gas Mark 6.
Step 4
Sprinkle the Bisto Gravy
Granules into the mince
mixture, stirring until thickened.
Transfer to a baking dish. Drain
the potatoes and butternut
squash, then mash them with
the milk and season with black
pepper. Spoon on top of the
mince, using a fork to roughen
the surface.
Step 5
Bake in the oven for 20-25
minutes, until golden brown.
If you’re short of time, spoon
the piping hot mince mixture
into a warmed baking dish, pile
the hot mash on top, then cook
under the grill for 5-6 minutes
to brown the surface.
