Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: For the filling; 450 g minced beef; 400 g canned tomatoes; 2 chopped tomatoes; 80 g sliced mushrooms; 1 sliced carrot; 80 g green beans (or any other vegetable); 2 instant Oxo, cubes (gravy granules); salt and pepper; For the crumble topping; 1/2 cup unsalted butter; 2 cups plain flour; 1 cup grated cheese (to taste, I use a mix of whatever is in the fridge, always strong cheese); salt and pepper; grated cheese, for sprinkling

Servings: persons

For the filling
450 g minced beef
400 g canned tomatoes
2 chopped tomatoes
80 g sliced mushrooms
1 sliced carrot
80 g green beans (or any other vegetable)
2 instant Oxo, cubes (gravy granules)
salt and pepper
For the crumble topping
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups plain flour
1 cup grated cheese (to taste, I use a mix of whatever is in the fridge, always strong cheese)
salt and pepper
grated cheese, for sprinkling

1
Brown the beef.
2
Add the tinned tomatoes.
3
Add the oxo cubes - crumble them evenly over the top and then mix inches.
4
Add the remaining ingredients.
5
Hint: At this stage you can also add any other flavourings/herbs/spices/vegetables you like, this is a very flexible recipe!
6
At this stage the beef should be quite liquidy. Don't take any out but turn the heat down and let it reduce naturally. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't become too dry. The ideal end product should look fairly dry but easily yield liquid when a spoon is pressed onto the mixture. This can take anything from 10-30 minutes, depending on what is added!
7
While the mixture is reducing make the crumble.
8
Put all of the crumble topping except for the cheese for sprinkling into a bowl and mix them so they look like chunky breadcrumbs.
9
Put the beef mixture into an ovenproof dish.
10
Pour the crumble mixture on top of the beef.
11
Put in a 180C oven for 20 minutes.
12
After the 20 minutes add the grated cheese to the top, put the crumble back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes (until the cheese is melted/brown/crispy according to taste).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
