Cottage Pie With Potato and Sweet Potato Mash

Directions

1In a large pan heat the olive oil until hot. (I do this in my slow cooker as mine has a sear function) Add the onion, celery and carrot and cook until just soft 2-3mins.

2Add the mince and cook until slightly seared 5mins .(drain off oil if there is any)

3**you can add all ingredients straight into your slow cooker raw but I like the flavor searing gives to final dish. You will need to allow more cooking time if doing from raw**

4Pour the mince mixture into the slow cooker.

5In a bowl add all other ingredients (not the mash and cheese) mix well and add to mince and again mix well.

6Cook on low for 4-5hrs stirring occasionally. (i put a tea towel under my lid) Take the lid off the slow cooker and if there is a lot of liquid on top of mince remove and throw out. Now carefully spoon the mashed potato and sweet potato neatly on top of the mince and top with the cheese and cook for 1hr or until cheese is melted. If your slow cooker bowl is oven proof then u can brown cheese in oven or under the grill. Serve with some crusty bread of your choice.

7 I recommend u remove pot from base and let stand 20-30mins b4 serving. It will hold together better :)
