  1. 1

    Cook the potato in boiling salted water for 15 minutes until tender, then drain and mash with the butter and a splash of milk if you have it.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, brown the beef mince with the onion and carrot in a hot pan for 5–6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato puree and stock, and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

  4. 4

    Spoon the mince into a bowl or dish and top with the mash.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 320 g beef mince. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.
