Method
​
Boil the sweet potato until tender, approx. 15 mins
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large deep pan, add the onions, cover & cook for 8 mins or until softened & starting to colour, stir in Munro's mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned. Stir in all the spices & crumbled veg stock cube, add the beans with their liquid along with the green pepper & tomatoes. Cover & simmer for 20 mins. Stir in the sweetcorn with its liquid, season & take off the heat.
While the mince cooks, mash the sweet potato with the milk to make a stiff mash. spoon the mince into pie dish & top with the mash, then sprinkle on the cheese with a little paprika.
If eating straight away, put under a hot grill until piping hot & cheese has melted! If pie has been prepared in advance pre-heat oven to 180C & bake for 40-45 minutes until piping hot, serve with broccoli or salad
