2 cups beef stock

1/2 - 3/4 cup lukewarm water

Instructions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft.
Add mince and cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
Add zucchini, flour, stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and a bay leaf. Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes. Add peas and corn and cook for a further 5 minutes.

To create the mash:

In a large saucepan, fill ¾ of the way with water. Add potatoes, and cook on medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook for a further 10 minutes until potatoes are soft. Meanwhile, in a jug whisk together AptaGrow powder with lukewarm water and set aside.
Drain cooked potatoes and mash. Add the AptaGrow mixture, and more water if required to achieve desired consistency.
Place beef mixture into a 2L ovenproof dish or six, individual 1–2 cup ovenproof dishes. Top with mashed potato, then top with cheese and place under the grill for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
