Chilli beef & lentil pie

Chilli beef & lentil pie

A tasty twist on the classic cottage pie, with a touch of heat from Baxters ‘Deli Inspired' Chilli Beef with Lentils & Buckwheat soup and a crunchy tortilla topping.

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 - 35 minutes

What you need:

  • 2 tsp (5ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 x 300g pack extra lean minced beef
  • 1 can Baxters ‘Deli Inspired' Chilli Beef with Lentils & Buckwheat soup
  • 1 x 450g pack ready made mashed potato
  • 50g (2oz) tortilla chips, crushed
  • 25g (1oz) cheddar cheese, grated

What you do:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC / gas mark 4 for a fan oven and 160ºC / gas mark 3 for a convention oven. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the mince and cook for 6 - 8 minutes, stirring until the mince is browned. Meanwhile, heat through the mashed potato according to the pack instructions.
  2. Stir the soup into the mince and heat through. Transfer the mixture to 1 large or 4 individual ovenproof dishes. Use a fork and spoon to spread the potato over the top of the mince. Mix the tortilla chips and cheese together and scatter over the potato. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crunchy. Serve hot with vegetables.

Handy tip:

For speed, use ready-made mashed potato, but if you prefer, make the mashed potato from scratch.
