❗️I found this recipe in a British magazine from the 70s!🔝The best casserole i've ever eaten!

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, and margarine can be a budget-friendly alternative.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat, while processed cheese is often cheaper.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth is lighter, while bouillon cubes reduce costs.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and milk until smooth. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until softened.

Stir in the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

Mix in peas, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes.

Pour in beef broth and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove bay leaves.

Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
