I was going to have mashed potatoes with beans and with various toppings for my meal but changed it to this dish to make it a bit more interesting and made this dish which I have named Beans and Mash Bake but it could be called Pizza with a difference too!! The dish tasted nice with all the flavours blending in. It looked like a pizza but had a potato base. This would be perfect to serve to anyone with an allergy to yeast, bread or wheat. Not sure about it being Gluten free as It’s not my area of expertise. The ingredients for this dish are what everyone would have in their cupboard.
