There's a great lasagne recipe or two in here, maybe search through the old recipes, I have it on my fridge & make it often it's a huge hit!!!

Also when I make shepherds Pie I really let the meat sauce simmer for ages.

I use 500g mince beef
1 jar of Dolmio or whatever is on special
1 chopped onion
1/2 tspn of curry powder
1 tin crushed tomatoes
salt/pepper
pinch of sugar

Then I leave it to simmer for an hour or 2...
