Know that the best hash is made with… stew meat!
But you can also vary the pleasures by using other meats than beef, depending on the leftovers you have!
You can mix beef and pork.
Another possibility, you can also prepare a Shepherd's pie with duck. It's a treat!
Do you have any leftover chicken meat? Use it to make your hash. The result will be lighter than with beef, pork or duck.
Do you know that some people replace butter with olive oil?
So traditional shepherd's pie, old-fashioned or revisited... It all depends on everyone's tastes!
- 500 g of minced meat:€5.70
- 1 kg of mashed potatoes:€2
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley of 30 g:€1
Either a unique and tasty dish at €2.17 for 1 person or €8.70 for 4 people.
It's definitely a really inexpensive family recipe. It will be perfect for small budgets and students!
