Ingredients

For the Topping

  • 750 g potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 5 Tbsp fat-free natural yogurt
  • 25 g fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 10 g fresh chives finely chopped
  • Salt & pepper

For the Filling

  • 500 g lean beef mince 5% fat or less
  • Low-calorie cooking spray
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 300 g carrots finely diced
  • 2 red bell peppers deseeded and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 beef stock cube
  • 3 Tbsp tomato purée

  • 1 tsp dried red chili flakes optional
  • 100 ml hot water
  • 1 400g can chopped tomatoes

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain well then mash with the egg yolk, yogurt, and herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, to make the filling, dry-fry the mince in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess liquid then transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
  • Spray the pan with cooking spray and reduce heat to medium. Add the onion, carrots, peppers, and garlic and cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
  • Add the browned mince, crumble in a stock cube, and add the tomato purée, oregano, and chili flakes if using. Stir everything together to combine.
  • Add the water, tomatoes and baked beans and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6
  • Transfer the filling to a large (2 litre/2 quart) ovenproof dish and spread out evenly.
  • Top with the mashed potato.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the potato topping is golden brown.
  • Steam or boil the greens for a couple of minutes, drain well and serve with the Cowboy Pie.
