Ingredients

  • 60 g Beef Broth
  • 1 g Black Pepper
  • 100 g Brussels sprout
  • 10 g Butter
  • 25 g Cheddar Cheese
  • 90 g Corn kernel
  • 1 g Dried Thyme
  • 4 g Garlic
  • 140 g Lean ground beef
  • 35 g Milk 2%
  • 5 g Olive oil
  • 50 g Onion
  • 220 g Potato
  • 2 g Salt
  • 15 g Tomato Paste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Peel and dice the potatoes, then place them in a pot of salted water.
  2. Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook until very tender. Drain well.
  3. Meanwhile, finely chop the Brussels sprouts and onion. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the ground beef with the onion, Brussels sprouts, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, and corn. Simmer until the mixture is thickened, then transfer it to an oven-safe meal-prep container or small baking dish.
  6. Mash the potatoes with the milk and butter until smooth. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  7. Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, sprinkle with cheddar, and bake until the top is golden. Let cool slightly before storing.
