What you'll need:
Ingredients:
-
1tbsp olive oil

1 onion (diced)

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Method:
- Fry the chopped onion and carrot until softened slightly, then add the plain flour and thyme and cook for a few minutes.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and then stir. Check the consistency of the sauce now as it won't thicken once cooking. Reduce if necessary, re-add the beef mince and season well with salt and pepper.
-
Transfer to the slow cooker and cook on low heat.
-
An hour before the filling is ready, boil the potatoes until tender.
-
Drain and allow to steam-dry for a few minutes, then add the cream and mash well.

Spoon the mash on top of the filling in the slow cooker pot, use the back of a fork to make ridges in the mash, and cook for the remaining time.
