Ham Shepherd’s Pie

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion finely diced
• 1 stick celery finely diced
• 1 carrot peeled and finely diced [frozen is fine]
• ½ can corn kernels
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 and a ½ cups chicken stock
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 1 pack Hellers Ol Smokey Ham roughly chopped
• Smashed Potato Mash:
• 5-6 large potatoes skin on and cut in half
• 50g butter
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup grated cheese + extra for garnish
• To serve:
• Herbs – fresh chives or italian parsley
• Crusty bread
• Value Tip: Use Cinderella brand instant mash potato instead of the smashed potato. This is a great easy affordable alternative and with the addition of a little garlic butter and chives you would never know it is instant mash! Also Use frozen vegetable combinations to cut down on prep time and cost
