Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan and set over medium heat. Cook onion and mushrooms for 4 minutes, or until softened. Add beef mince, cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until browned all over.

2 Add gravy and wine to pan. Season with pepper and bring to the boil. Boil for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol in the wine and then divide beef mixture among four 2 cup-capacity ramekins.

3 Meanwhile steam, microwave or boil potatoes and cauliflower for 5—10 minutes, or until tender. Mash, then stir through the milk, garlic and chives.

4 Top ramekins with mash and place on baking tray in oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Serve with steamed broccoli.
