Method

  1. Pre the oven to 200 掳C (180 fan), gas mark 6.

  2. Mash the cooked potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add in the butter, to make the mash nice and creamy.

  3. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan. Add the onion, garlic and the carrot and stir well, let them cook gently on a low heat for about 5 minutes until soft. This is a hob job, so ask your grown-up helper for help to do this, as the hob is hot, hot, hot!

  4. Next add the minced lamb (you could also use beef or a vegetarian alternative). Keep stirring until all the meat has browned and cooked through. Then add the tin of baked beans and the Worcestershire sauce.

  5. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes then turn off the heat and carefully pour the mixture into a large baking dish, leaving enough space for the mash topping. You might need to ask a grown-up helper to do this for you, as the filling will be hot, hot, hot.

  6. Spoon the mashed potato on top of the filling. Make sure to save any leftover mash for decoration.

  7. With very clean hands, roll the leftover mashed potato into balls. This will make our snow people decorations for our pie. The mash should be creamy enough to stick together, then you can place them on top of the potato snow. Make sure you let the mash cool down first!

  8. Pop the pie into the oven for 15 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on the snow people as they could burn quickly!

  9. Once the pie is cooked and cooled a little the snow people will be ready to decorate. You can add tummy buttons, peas, currants for eyes and strips of carrot for scarves!
