One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot is packed full of root vegetables and peas with a hint of horseradish sauce. A fabulously comforting family meal!

One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot

I’m very excited to share my One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot with you today! I love comfort food so there’s nothing better than a good old-fashioned beef or lamb stew.

So when Simply Beef & Lamb asked if I’d like to take part in their #LivePeasant campaign, designed to get home cooks using a more rustic approach to their cooking, I jumped at the chance.

Simply Beef and Lamb supports the Red Tractor Mark and the Quality Standard Mark for beef and lamb. Visit their website to find your nearest Quality Standard butcher.

Everyone is busy so it’s great to make a midweek family meal that’s not fiddly and cooks in one pot.

Our ancestors would have cooked everything in one pot. There were no range cookers back then so it’s nice to go back to basics and focus on simplicity!

One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot

I decided to make One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot after brainstorming with my husband.

We discussed having potatoes in the stew but decided a layer of potatoes on top would be nice.

The other root vegetables I chose were swede (rutabaga), carrots, and parsnips which I married off with peas.

I added a dash of creamed horseradish sauce to boost the flavour and contrast with the sweet root vegetables.

One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot

I’ve never made a Beef Hotpot before. But I have to say it was utterly delicious and a big hit with the family.

This was a very economical meal as the beef only cost me £3.20 from my local butchers. The vegetables were all good old-fashioned basic ones so nice and cheap too!

What I also loved about this dish was that once assembled, I had a whole hour to myself. There were no vegetables to cook towards the end, I just had to plate up and serve!

Best of all there was only one pot to wash after the meal! So it was a win/win situation, saving on washing up liquid too!

One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot so delicious, could it be the addition of cream of horseradish sauce that makes it so popular? #hotpot #mincedbeef #mincedbeefrecipes #beefrecipes #familydinner #dinnerrecipes #potatotopping #potato #slicedpotato

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions diced
  • 400 g beef shin or casserole steak minced
  • 275 g swede diced
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 2 parsnips chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 500 ml beef stock
  • 4 shakes of Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tbsp cream of horseradish sauce
  • 500 g potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 15 g melted butter or 1 tbsp olive oil for glazing potatoes
  • salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a large oven proof pan (I used cast iron) heat the oil over a medium heat and sweat the onions under a lid until tender, stirring occasionally (about 8 minutes).
  • Push the onions to the outside, turn the heat up a little, add the mince and fry until browned all over.
  • Add another tbsp of oil then add all the chopped vegetables and fry for a couple of minutes stirring.
  • Next add the flour and cook for a further minute, stirring.
  • Preheat oven to 180ºC, 160ºC fan, Gas Mark 4 or 355ºF.
  • Add the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish sauce, seasoning and peas, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Take off the heat, lay overlapping potato slices on top, then brush with melted butter or oil.
  • Replace the lid and bake for 1 hour.
  • Remove lid and place under a hot grill until potatoes start to go golden (about 8 minutes).
  • Serve on its own or with some crusty bread.

      Hi Felicette, I wasn’t sure that your previous post was a review as you just seemed to tell me how you make this dish with lamb and raspberries so thank you for clarifying.

        Yeh I couldn’t edit the comment, it isn’t raspberries, it’s ras al hanout. Should also have made more of the fact that this is my go-to recipe whenever friends ask for it, as I’m making this regularly (albeit my own recipe) as it’s the best one I have found. Making it today in fact, pretty much as you’ve shown, and using heritage beef lamb from the farm here.

    I make this with lamb or sheep mince and add harissa and half a can of polpa, and I sprinkle raspberries al hanout and thyme on top of the potatoes before seizing the olive oil and adding the pieces of butter. I would suggest you specify whether the 180 degrees is with or without fan. Also warn that every oven is different, as really, 45 minutes at 180 (or 170 fan) is enough to cook it all and not burn the potatoes.

      04/03/2025 at 9:20 pm

      Thank you Felicette I have added the alternative oven temperatures now. 1 hour with the lid on does not burn the potatoes and hence it’s removed and grilled for the last 8 minutes. I’m not going to warn my readers that every oven is different as I’m sure they already know and no other recipe sites say this. It would get very boring for readers if they had to read this in every recipe online.

    This was delicious, it reminded me of the hotpots we used to eat as children. Packed with vegetables and with a side of broccoli, it makes a hearty an extremely meal. This will definitely go onto my list of favourites.

    Hello from Down Under . I just found your site and cooked the Italian mince plait as a pie using Moroccan seasoning. Delicious! Will be using the rest of the mince for this. As a nurse, these quick one pot meals are a godsend. The kids/hubby can just pop them in the oven when I’m working late and have a hot meal. Thank you!

      Hi Petrina, I’m wondering if you missed an ingredient (stock, horseradish sauce for the gravy) or what beef stock cubes you were using at this is my most popular meal on my blog which everyone seems to love and has had lots of praise on social media including Pinterest where readers have shared their re-creations. I know one of my neighbours makes it for her large family all the time and mine can’t get enough of it (well apart from daughter who has since turned vegetarian). You might prefer my Minced Beef & Onions recipe which is also very popular (excuse the bad photos)! https://www.fabfood4all.co.uk/minced-beef-and-onions/

    I love mince dishes, I think it’s so underutilised – just spagbol and chilli and not much else. This looks delicious!

      Thanks Kavey, yes I have to say I’ve been missing a trick by not making this before now!

    I love cooking in one pot and would describe all my food as rustic so this is the perfect dish for me!

    Looks the perfect feed-the-family type dish which would be perfect for our people. I have a rugby playing son who often eats two dinners, one small dinner before rugby and a HUGE dinner afterwards and this is very much his thing!
