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 supports 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 backbone, 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 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 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!

- Preheat oven to 180ºC.

- Take off the heat, lay overlapping potato slices on top, then brush with melted butter or oil.

Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
I love cooking a hotpot with sliced potatoes on top – the top ones get crispy and the bottom ones soak up all the gravy 🙂 so yummy!
Camilla
Exactly right Becca:-)
Emma White
oh wow this looks and sounds amazing I must give it a try myself
Camilla
You’ll love it I’m sure Emma:-)
Kavey
I love mince dishes, I think it’s so underutilised – just spagbol and chilli and not much else. This looks delicious!
Camilla
Thanks Kavey, yes I have to say I’ve been missing a trick by not making this before now!

Elinor Hill aka Beachhutcook
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!
Camilla
Thanks Elinor:-) I have a teenage son who doesn’t play sports but be has hollow legs too!
Debra @ Bowl Me Over
