Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the meat until cooked through. Stir in the onions, carrots, and celery. Sprinkle generously with A&O Ragu and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes until tender. Mash well, then stir in butter, cream cheese, A&O Garlic Butter, and half the cheddar cheese.
  4. Spread the meat mixture evenly into the base of a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, smoothing into an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbling. For extra crispiness, grill for 5 minutes at the end.
