5L slow cooker

Ingredients

1 kg lean beef mince
2 carrots grated
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 onion, diced
400 gram can of diced tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp beef stock powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 500g trays of potato gnocchi
2 cups grated tasty cheese

Instructions

Combine in the slow cooker, all ingredients except the gnocchi and cheese
Cook on low for 5hrs
Remove any excess fat/liquid that may pool on top of meat sauce (I gently spoon mine out. Good quality mince to begin with will limit excess fat at this stage)
Cook gnocchi in boiling water as per pkt instructions (usually 2mins)
Strain then gently add gnocchi on top of cottage pie in slow cooker and top with cheese. Continue to cook on low for 15-20mins to melt cheese
Serve withyour favourite steamed side vegetables
Beef mince could also be swapped for lamb mince for a Shepherd's pie instead
