Mushroom 'n' Mash Pie

This recipe is very simple to prepare yet delicious. It started off as a way to use up 1kg of mushrooms which were starting to go soft and ended up as a favourite dish. Think of it as shepherd's pie with mushrooms instead of meat.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1 dish

Ingredients

• 1  kg mushroom
• 1  large onion
• 250  ml  gravy (instant) or 250  ml  vegetable stock
• 1 (100 g) packet mashed potatoes
• 50  g cheddar cheese (grated)

Directions

1. Slice the mushrooms into small pieces and fry them in a covered pan until soft.
2. Cut the onion in small pieces and fry it, adding water to prevent drying.
3. Prepare the stock or gravy - I used instant gravy granules (Bisto onion gravy) but other varieties can be used.
4. Mix all these together and spread evenly in an oven dish.
5. Prepare the mashed potatoes - instant works juse fine - and spread it evenly over the surface of the other ingredients.
6. Spread some grated cheddar over the top - this gives it a great colour as well as adding flavour.
7. Finally, pop it in the oven for around 20 minutes, or until the surface has a rich red-gold colour.
