One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot is packed full of root vegetables and peas with a hint of horseradish sauce – fabulous family comfort food!
Today I’m very excited to share my One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot with you! 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 support both the Red Tractor Mark and the Quality Standard Mark for beef and lamb and if you visit their website you can find your nearest Quality Standard butcher.
As most of us are rushed for time these days it’s good to make a midweek meal that’s not fiddly, cooks in one pot and will satisfy your family.
Our ancestors would have cooked everything in one pot, there were no range cookers back then so I think it’s nice to go back to basics and think simple and delicious!
I decided to make this One Pot Minced Beef Hotpot after a quick brainstorming session with hubby.
We discussed having potatoes in the stew but decided a layer of potatoes on top would be nice.
Then to give the hotpot a bit of back bone, I decided a dash of creamed horseradish would be rather nice along with lots of lovely sweet root vegetables and a few peas!
I’ve never made a Beef Hotpot before but I have to say it was absolutely 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 and 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, no veg to cook towards the end, just plate up and serve!
Best of all there was only one pot to wash up after the meal, so a total win/win situation, a saving on washing up liquid too!

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 and 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:-)

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
