HOW WE MAKE IT
STEP 1

STEP 2
Add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan and fry the onions for 5 minutes until soften and then add the garlic in for 1 minute stirring continuously.
STEP 3
Measure the flour and 50 ml of the wine into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the remainder of the wine and stir.
STEP 4
Put the meat back in the pan , add the stock the wine and flour and stir until thickened. Add the sugar and Worcestershire sauce and season. Bring to the boil, stirring as you go, then cover with a lid and simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
STEP 5
Add the mushrooms and bring back to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
STEP 6
Meanwhile, make the mash. In a large saucepan, cover the 800g potatoes which you've peeled and chopped, in salted cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until tender.
STEP 7
Drain well, then allow to steam-dry for a few mins. Mash well with the 50ml milk, 15g butter, and three-quarters of the 150g strong cheddar cheese, then season with freshly grated nutmeg and some salt and pepper
STEP 8
Mix the mustard, horseradish and cream together win a bowl, then stir through the casserole. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed potatoes.
OUR TOP TIPS
To get really smooth, creamy mash, use a potato ricer or sieve. To stop the mash sinking into the filling, allow the meat to cool before topping with the mashed potato. Freeze in individual ovenproof dishes for an easy meal for one. For a really crisp, golden topping, flash under the grill for a few mins before serving.
This dish is even better eaten the day after so if feeding a crowd make a day in advance.
Don’t worry if after 2 hours the casserole looks a bit thick. The mushrooms release a lot of water so don’t be tempted to add anything,
FOOLPROOF FREEZING
Make sure the casserole cold, then cover it well with cling film or put it in a container and freeze. Always freeze on the day that you make it. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat in a casserole dish.
