1kg potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon olive oil 500g mince 1 onion, chopped 1 tablespoon tomato puree 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper to taste 50g butter 4 tablespoons plain flour 475ml milk 125g grated Cheddar cheese 175g tinned mushrooms, drained 50g butter

Preparation Method Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Place potato slices in a medium bowl with enough water to cover. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

In a separate medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 50g butter and thoroughly blend in flour. Gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir 5 minutes, or until thickened. Reduce heat, and blend Cheddar cheese into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Line a medium baking dish with 1/2 the potato slices. Pour in the mince mixture, and top with mushrooms.
