The group decided on a comforting cottage pie, which incorporates lots of vegetables.
First we peeled and chopped potato and sweet potato for the topping, and chopped onion and carrot.
We then fried the onion and carrot with some garlic and added the mince.
Once the mince was browned off we added beef stock, seasoning, garden peas and sweetcorn. We let this simmer whilst the potatoes were boiling.
We mashed the sweet potato and potato together to create the topping of our cottage pie.
Once the mince had simmered for a few minutes we put it in a dish and topped with the potato mix. We then baked this in the oven for half an hour.
We had the cottage pie with broccoli on the side.
Everyone really enjoyed the cottage pie and loved the sweet potato added to the mash. Everyone agreed that this dish is a great way to incorporate vegetables into a meal and would be a great winter warmer on a cold day.
