What you need;
Full pack mince meat, 2 rashers of bacon, tin of carrots, tin of sweetcorn, tin of peas, large spoon full of marmite, pack of shepards pie flavoring mix, 4 mushrooms and a beef stock cube (just for the meaty part)
I browned everything of for 5-10 mins 1st then draining the oil into a pan and adding water with the marmite and bringing to the boil.

After boiling I then drain the water / juices into the same pan as the other and place the meaty part into the cooking tin.

After of course mashing the potato mixed with cheese and grated garlic i then spread this evenly over the top of the meaty part.

Then adding a few more large handfuls of cheese to cover the potato.

whilst cooling I transfer all the juices into suitable containers for freezing or refrigerator to be used as a gravy stock at a later date.

The whole meal costs around £7-8 to make but as there's only us 2 at the moment the rest will freeze for an easy healthy meal at a later date :)
The marmite bring a great taste to the dish so highly recommend to any marmite lovers out there :) My son loved it x

A Little bit about me:
Iv been a full time dad for a year this month, love every second of it :) going from long hours working and earning a good wage to single parent benefits was not easy but worth every second to take care of my son after his mum walked away and will never have any regrets, now where starting again in life and have just moved away to start a new life :) my family has followed to support but im wanting more, a stable future for my son, our own house and not rented, a good education and a positive future. I have 1 ambition this year and that is to own a house outright for my son, Iv moved us to a cheep area where this is possible to buy one for only £10k :) we will manage it. My bogs mostly about single parenting and living of a shoe string whilst still having a good life.
You can all help me make our life and dreams come true though, just buy following, upvoting, re streeming or donating steem. We will make it either way but with the community help will be a lot quicker.
Many thanks for reading, any comments welcome.
