Cooking Instructions:

Before cooking:

Preheat the oven on grill setting to 220°C.
1. To prepare the mash topping:

Heat 2-3 tbsp of butter in a pot over a medium heat and once melted add the steamed potatoes and pumpkin, wholegrain mustard cream and 3 tbsp of water. Heat for 2-3 mins and then using a wooden spoon or potato masher vigorously stir the mixture until it is smooth and cook for another 2-3 mins to heat right through. Cover with a lid to keep warm while preparing mince.
2. To cook the beef pie:

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the beef mince and brown, breaking up the mince with a spatula or wooden spoon. Brown for 2-3 mins then stir in the tomato sauce. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 4-5 mins to heat right through.
3. To finish making the pie:

Spoon beef mixture into an oven proof dish. Top with wholegrain mustard pumpkin and potato smash and sprinkle over cheesy crumb. Place under the grill for 1-2 mins until cheese is melted and bubbling.
4. To cook the silverbeet:

Heat 1-2 tbsps of butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cut the stalks off the silverbeet and then cut them into ½ cm strips. Finely slice the leaves into ½ cm strips as well. Add the stalks to the pan and saute for 2 mins then stir in the leaves and cook for another 3-5 mins until soft and tender.
To serve:

Using a fish slice portion the beef pie and then carefully lift onto plates. Serve silverbeet on the side.
