This is one of my favorite ground beef recipes, it originates from the north of England. Lancashire hot pot is traditionally made with Mutton, however, I’ve adapted it here(so its now in the ground beef recipes section instead of the Lamb one)

• Fry the large chopped onion in one tablespoon of olive oil, add the ground beef and cook until it browns.
• Add the chopped carrots and mushrooms
• lightly grease a casserole dish
• Add half the ground beef mixture to the casserole dish
• Cover this with a layer of the sliced potatoes
• Add another layer of ground beef mixture
• Neatly arrange remaining sliced potatoes on top
• Add the mixed herbs, mustard and a shake of worcester sauce to the beef stock.
• Pour this mixture into the casserole dish
• Cover the casserole dish and cook in an oven preheated to 160°C/325&detg;F/Gas Mark 3 for around 2 hours
• Mix the beaten egg and grated cheese together
• After 1 hour 40 mins coat the top of the Lancashire hot pot with the egg/cheese mixture
• Return to the oven uncovered for the remaining 20 minutes or until the egg/cheese mixture is golden.
