Ingredients
- 130 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 60 g Peas, green, frozen
- 50 g Mushrooms, cremini, raw
- 15 g Butter, unsalted

Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat for 6-7 minutes until browned; drain any excess fat.

- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the potato topping is tender and golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
