Ingredients
Crust:
- 1.1 lb – 500 g lean beef mince
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 2 XL eggs
- 1/2 medium onion, finely grated
- 1 tbsp cake flour
Filling:
- 2 medium potatoes (for mash)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small tin button mushrooms, drained
- 2 cups strong-flavoured grated cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 to 4 tbsp milk (as needed)
- 1 to 2 tbsp parsley (fresh or dried)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Crust
- In a bowl, mix the 500 g beef mince, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cloves, 2 XL eggs, grated 1/2 onion, and 1 tbsp cake flour until just combined.
- Line a springform pan with parchment paper on the base and sides, leaving a bit hanging over the edges.
- Press the mince mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides, about 1 to 1.5 cm thick. Pop it in the fridge while you prep the filling, so it firms up.
Vegetables
- If using 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, microwave them for about 2 minutes, then drain off any liquid well. If using fresh, lightly cook them until just tender. Set aside.
- Drain the small tin of button mushrooms and pat them slightly dry so they don’t add extra moisture later.
Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and cube the 2 potatoes, then boil in water until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain most of the water, leaving just a little behind.
- Mash with 1 tbsp butter and 2 to 4 tbsp milk until smooth and spreadable. Stir in 1 to 2 tbsp parsley and salt to taste. Set aside.
Bake Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350⁰F (180⁰C).
- Place the springform pan on a rack set over a baking tray to catch any drips. Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Once baked, you might see some liquid pooling. Carefully spoon off as much as you can.
- If the sides have slumped a bit, gently press them back up with the back of a spoon.
Assemble
- Spread half of the mashed potatoes evenly over the baked mince crust.
- Add the mixed vegetables and half of the mushrooms.
- Sprinkle over about 1 cup of the grated cheddar cheese.
- Top with the remaining mashed potatoes, then the remainder of the mushrooms, and finish with another 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Final bake
- Return to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Switch to broil for about 3 to 5 minutes to lightly brown the top.
Serve
- Let it rest for about 10 minutes before removing the springform ring.
- There may still be a little liquid, so move carefully.
- Lift the bake using the parchment overhang onto a serving plate, then gently slide the paper out if you can. Slice and serve.
