An easy pie that anyone, even the kids, can make. The name probably came from the time when leftover mutton was minced and used. This is a slightly more upmarket version - they would not have used cheese, nutmeg or bacon in the traditional recipe.
- 3 or 4 rashers of bacon
- 500gm potatoes, boiled and mashed
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 500gm minced meat, cooked
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 45gm grated cheese
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- Fry the bacon until it is crisp.
- Crumble it and add it the mashed potatoes; add the nutmeg at the same time.
- Put a layer of the cooked meat in an ovenproof dish and cover it with sliced tomato and thinly sliced onion.
- Repeat the layers until the ingredients have all been used.
- Spread the potato mixture evenly over the top and sprinkle the cheese over it.
- Cook at about 180°C to 200°C until the cheese is golden brown.
Traditionally, the cook probably put the meat in one layer, but this version looks nicer when served carefully.
