3 Large Potatoes (peeled and chopped into large chunks)
1 Medium Onion (chopped)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
2 Tbl Ketchup
1 Tbl All-purpose Flour
Salt
Pepper

5 Ramekins

DIRECTIONS :

1. Preheat your oven to 425 F.
2. Bring a medium pot of water to the boil, add in the potato chunks. Cook until soft and ready. Mash the potatoes up and set aside
2. Heat oil in a large pan, cook the onion and garlic until soft, add the beef and brown it
3. Mix flour in a little water - not too runny, but also not too thick, add to the beef. Add the ketchup and stir until combined
4. Add 1/2 cup water, and cook until the liquid has thickened - about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with Salt and Pepper
5. Prepare the Ramekins by spraying them well
6. Measure the beef in the red container, spoon half into a Ramekin - repeat this process with all the Ramekins. My beef mix made 5 Ramekins doing it this way. Pat down a little
7. Measure the mash potatoes into the yellow container, spread half evenly on top of the beef mixture - repeat this with all the Ramekins
8. Use a fork and lightly scrape the top of the potato, add a tiny piece of butter in the middle of each one
9. Put the Ramekins onto a cookie sheet and into the oven, until potato is lightly browned - about 10 - 15 min, just keep an eye on them

Enjoy!!
