Healthy Lunches
If you are eating healthily then you may have difficulty in finding lunches for work. If you have a microwave there is no reason you can’t take this cowboy pie for your lunch.
This is just one of many amazing lunch ideas I have found so do check out my other recipes for more ideas.
If you take lunch then you are so much less likely to buy food which inevitably will be less healthy. Taking a variety of food throughout the week to work keeps your lunchtimes interesting and stops you from getting bored.
Even if, like me, you work alone at home it can make such a difference having your food already prepared for you. Why not give it a go and make sure you build a variety of lunches into your weekly meal plan.
Step-by-step instructions to make the Cowboy pie
Preheat the oven to 200°c
Boil the potatoes for approximately 15-20 minutes until soft enough to mash.
Meanwhile in a large frying pan using low-calorie cooking spray fry the mince with the garlic until lightly brown
Add the peppers and onions and fry for a further 5 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes, baked beans and Worcestershire sauce or Hendersons relish. Stir well and allow to simmer for a further 10 minutes.
Whilst the mince mixture is simmering, drain the potatoes and mash well then stir in the grated cheese. I often use my Masha as it makes mashing potatoes so easy!
Pour the mince mixture into a large casserole dish and top with the mashed potato. If the dish is very full put it onto a baking tray as it can easily bubble over and make a mess in the oven if not!
Bake for 30-40 minutes until top is golden brown.

Notes
Please note that as at present 70g of EatLean protein cheese is a healthy extra a choice therefor this recipe if serving 4 makes it syn free when using the healthy extra a choice. If you swap to another cheese this will not apply unless you also adjust the amounts of cheese to reflect the appropriate healthy extra allowances. Slimming World syns and healthy extra allowances are always subject to change. Please remember to check your app or with your consultant for current syn values and allowances.

Really good. I threw in a handful of red lentils with my quorn mince too. Henderson’s relish was definitely a great buy – took a while to track it down in the south though!

This looks good. Reminds me of Sheppard’s Pie but with a bunch of extras. I’ll have to try this sometime. Thanks for sharing.
