One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot is packed full of root vegetables and peas with a hint of horseradish sauce. A fabulously comforting family meal!
I’m very excited to share my One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot with you! today I love comfort food and there’s nothing I like 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 both the Red Tractor Mark and the Quality Standard Mark for beef and lamb. You can visit their website you can 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!
I decided to make a One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot after a quick brainstorming session 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.
For a flavour boost, I opted for a dash of creamed horseradish sauce to contrast with the sweet root vegetables.
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 it was 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 up after the meal! So a total win/win situation, saving on washing up liquid too!

One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp rapeseed 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

- 1 tbsp cream of horseradish sauce
- 500 g potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 15 g melted butter or 1 tbsp 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.
- 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.

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 very sunny Spain. Made your one pot mince today and it was great. Easy to prepare and into the oven, simple and very tasty.
Camilla
Thank you so much Evelyn, so glad you like my hot pot:-)
Paula Atherton
Cooked this today for my partner and I, we both loved it. I mistakenly bought diced beef rather than mince but it was still delicious.
Thank you Camilla for the recipe, just came across your website this morning and I suspect I’ll be back here often for inspiration.
Many thanks once again
Paula
Camilla
Aaw, thank you so much Paula, so glad you like the recipe despite the mix up, it’s all beef:-)
Perth calling
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!
Camilla
Well hello Down Under:-) Awesome, so glad you like the recipe and adapted it to your own taste:-)
Paulina
Made this today for the fam. I didn’t have swede or horseradish (as I’m on a quest to empty the fridge before doing another shop) so I subbed celery and leeks. Added a touch of tomato paste as well and it turned out absolutely delicious. Added to my go to recipes.
Camilla
Excellent Pauline, always good to add what needs using up:-)
Adam
It’s so good. Absolutely delicious – my kind of meal. Thanks for sharing, this one’s going to be a staple dish that I’ll cook all the time.

Excellent Adam, I’m so please you like it, thanks for your feeback:-)

Pbee
Made this recipe tonight absoloutly diabolical.
No taste very very bland had to bin it.
Didn’t miss anything out at all.
Partner said don’t ever give that to me again and believe me he eats most anything.
P.bee.
Camilla
Hi Pam, can you do me a favour and let me know what brands of beef stock cubes and horse radish sauce you used and even the Worcestershire Sauce as these are not bland flavours and along with salt and pepper this makes no sense at all to me?
Petrina Pixton
Didn’t enjoy this recipe at all.No flavour very bland basically .mince and veg lacked something maybe a gravy/ sauce or just a base to pull it together.
Camilla
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 did this today absolutely delicious will be doing this again Regards Val

This is a very popular “winter-warmer”, but to be honest I could eat it all year round 🙂 The weather forecast has just offered ice and snow for tomorrow – that deserves a hotpot I think!
Camilla
Brr, yes definitely Hotpot weather!
