Yummy! didnt have zucchini or carrot so put some tinned tomatoes, mushrooms and red capsicum in instead. I also put in a bit of dijion mustard and bbq sauce just ensure the mix was nice and tasty - it did make it pretty rich. -
The gnocchi made a nice change from regular mash on top of this pie. I made a double recipe subbing peas for the zucchini and reducing the beef mince to 350g (500g is a huge serve for two!) and even that much made for a super generous serve with the vegies in there.

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
