For Steelcurtain, Sweet Potato Cottage Pie for 2:

500g minced beef (keep the juices)
700g sweet potatoes
300ml tomato passata
1 large onion
5g Rosemary
5g Thyme
4 carrots
150g peas
2 beef stock cubes
1/2 tube tomato puree
1 tablespoon of Worcester sauce
200g Cheddar cheese
Salt to taste

Potatoes
Make mashed sweet potatoes. I add salt to the water during boiling to make the flavour more rich without directly salting.

Carrots
Disc the carrots and boil them for 10 mins (or until soft)

Beef Sauce
Finely chop the onion, sweat them in a medium pan then add the beef. Cook it 3/4 done.
Add the passata, Worcester sauce and crumble in the stock cubes. Simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally
Add the carrots and peas then simmer for 10 mins
Add the rosemary and thyme and simmer for 5 more mins. Important not to ass the herbs till the end as the more you cook them, the more they lose their flavour.

Oven Bake
Pour the sauce into an oven-proof dish then spread the mash over the top
Grate the cheddar and sprinkle on top
Pop in to a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390f, Gas mark 6) for around 20 mins or until the cheese browns thoroughly
Stand for 10 mins
Serve
Enjoy!
