And, for us, it’s the mixture of tender beef mince, special burger sauce, double cheese, sesame seeds and American-style spices that remind us of a juicy burger from our favourite takeaway. Now, infuse those flavours into a cottage pie and you’ve got magic!

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel and cut the potato into large chunks. Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain the potato and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and a pinch of salt, then mash until smooth.
While the potato is cooking, grate the carrot. Finely chop the brown onion and garlic.
When the potato has 5 minutes cook time remaining, preheat the grill to medium-high. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the beef mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 2-3 minutes. Add the carrot and onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the All-American spice blend and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, then stir through the burger sauce, shredded Cheddar cheese and a splash of water. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a dash more water if the mixture looks dry!
Transfer the mince mixture to a baking dish, then evenly spread the mash over the top. Sprinkle over the grated Parmesan cheese and mixed sesame seeds (see ingredients) and grill until the cheese is melted and golden, 6-8 minutes.
While the pie is grilling, roughly chop the cucumber. In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add the mixed salad leaves and cucumber and toss to combine. Season to taste.
Divide the beef cheeseburger-style pie between plates. Serve with the cucumber salad.
