Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  • Add tomatoes, sauces, spices, herbs, wine, stock, and vinegar to the vegetables and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Fry the beef mince in the remaining oil until golden brown and stir into the vegetable sauce.
  • Add frozen peas to the potatoes and cook for a few minutes until tender.
  • Fry spring onions in butter, then stir in milk and heat through.
  • Drain potatoes and peas, then mash with the warm milk mixture until combined but chunky.
  • Spoon beef into a pie dish, top with champ, cheese, and paprika.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden-brown.
