Beef Lasagna
Frozen product. Once defrosted, heat, and consume within 3-4 days.
Please note these cooking instructions are merely a guide as different ovens may vary the cooking times. Feel free to cook a little longer if you feel necessary. Our cooking durations may be a little less than needed as we want to avoid any dishes being overcooked or burnt.
From frozen, preheat the oven to 150C, remove the lid and place in your preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, then turn the oven to 170C and bake for a further 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the sauce is starting to bubble over.
From thawed, preheat the oven to 170C, remove the lid and place in your preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the sauce is starting to bubble over.
Be sure to keep an eye on it as once it starts to bubble over you will know that it is ready. Make sure you don't let it bubble over for too long or you will lose the delicious juicy sauce and it may become too dry. If you want to test that the inside has warmed through, insert a temperature probe into the middle and check it has reached 75C. If the middle is not warm enough, place it back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until bubbling over. Once you are happy that it is cooked, remove from the oven.
Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minute before serving.
Great served with a side of green salad.
Beef Bourguignon

From thawed, gently pour the contents into a saucepan and warm slowly over medium heat until gently bubbling and warmed through.
Mash Potato
Frozen product. To defrost, put in the fridge for 24 hours. Once defrosted, reheat, and consume within 48 hours.
The mash can be warmed up in a saucepan, simply pour gently the contents of the bag into a saucepan and reheat at low heat stirring continuously so it does not stick to the bottom. Reheating it in a saucepan and not in the microwave will thicken the mash and give it that perfect texture.
If it ends up too thick for your liking, you can rectify with a bit of milk or cream. It is even better if you finish the mash with a slice of butter.
