Southwestern Shepherd's Pie

This Southwestern shepherd’s pie offers a vibrant, high-protein twist on the traditional British classic. By swapping standard white potatoes for a nutritious sweet potato mash and infusing the minced beef with cumin, cinnamon and a hint of jalapeño, you create a warming dish that is packed with depth and a gentle heat. The addition of black beans and sweetcorn adds a wonderful texture and boosts the fibre content, making it a satisfying choice for a midweek family dinner.

A great option for those seeking a healthy yet comforting meal, this bake is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals. The contrast between the savoury, spiced meat and the naturally sweet topping is truly delicious. Serve this wholesome casserole dish on its own or with a crisp green salad for a fresh finish. It is a brilliant way to liven up your standard dinner rotation while keeping nutrition at the forefront.
