You can also get peeled and chopped frozen onions in supermarkets, which are handy as you just take what you need

500g Mince Diced onion (you can buy this in a packet at most supermarkets) Secret ingredient 2 tbsp Gravy powder 1 tbsp tomato puree Salt and pepper (and any other herbs and spices you wish) And the secret ingredient ... a can of baked beans! It adds the texture of beans, one of your five a day, and the lovely tomato sauce to hold it all together! |

For me there's no lazy way to cook shepherd or cottage pie, it always takes a couple of hours at least

Plus a splash of red wine, Worcestershire sauce, dollop of Tom purée, finely diced carrot and celery with the onions at the outset. Let it simmer gently for as long as you can spare. Let it cool then, preferably the next day, apply the mash, a sprinkle of grated cheese then in the oven until it gets a baked top. 😛 Or, if you have a "busy lifestyle" use the OP's method and bang Smash on top (or Yeoman) |

Same here, the prep doesn't take that long though and you can do other things while it is cooking. Just needs a bit of planning and not a dish to do if you are short of time.

Carrot, celery onion (fresh!) as the base, then add meat, wine, worcestershire sauce etc and the mashed potatoes. No other way. Skimping with the ingredients means you end up with something more like a pot noodle (or rather it's erstwhile demonic companion, the pot mash) than a proper shepherd's pie.

I assume it's one of the packs of powdered shepherds pie mixes you can buy. I doubt you'd be able to taste a teaspoon of it in that mix though.
