Shepherds Pie

Lean mince (with fat drained or extra lean)
Potatoes
Peas
Carrots
Onion
Tsp butter 1pp
Skimmed milk
One of those shepherds pie mixes
Gravy granules 1pp

Peel and chop potatoes and stick on to boil until soft.
Meanwhile, fry the mince off with onion until brown. Peel and chop carrots. Once the mince is browned, drain the fat off and make the packet mix up with 300ml cold water. Add carrots to mince and onion, add peas and poor over the mixture. Bring back to the boil.
Mash potatoes with butter and a splash of skimmed milk.
Transfer mince mix to an oven proof dish, top with potato and cook on 200f for around half an hour or until brown.
Serve with gravy

This was made as per the instructions on the packet mix and for the 50g packet, it's 1pp. I've not bothered to point it in my serving as it wouldn't count as 1pp. But you're welcome to if you want to.

2pp for the whole recipe

This is the first time I tried this way of doing shepherds pie - I usually use my Mums recipe If you want that, I'll post it too.

does someone have a nice casserole recipe, and how many of the weeklies would it use, i have beef!

I've got a stew recipe that I cook in my slow cooker if that's any good?

I basically take the beef and sear it (not fully cook it, just sealing it if you like). Meanwhile, par boil some potatoes, carrot, peas, onion and mushrooms.

Put it all in the slow cooker and fill with stock made with 2 beef oxo cubes dissolved in water (1pp) until it's nearly covered.

I put mine on in the morning on a low heat, so when I get in, it's ready to serve we usually have dumplings made with Sainsburys packet mix, which work out to be 3pp each.

With dumplings, I've pointed it as 4pp per serving. I do add gravy granules to the mixture if it needs to be thickened up, hence the 1pp for the stew mix
