Mandy's faux Shepherds Pie

Mandy is a young single mum and living in a hostel. As I always invite friends for dinner, she did come to some. In a thankful note she put in a recipie for me to try it. I must admit it was an english dish that stood out in my 20 yrs experience of english food tasting. Its a baked dish with lots of mash like Shepherds Pie. So according to Mandy:

Potatoes
Milk
Butter
1 onion
Baked beans
Lots of grated cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper

Boil the potatoes till they are soft. Put in a bowl and mash. Add some milk and season. Add some butter and mash again till the mixture is soft and smooth. Add the onion chopped into small pieces. Mix it in with a fork. Empty a can of baked beans in a baking tray. Spread them out evenly to cover the bottom of the tray. Spread out the mash on top. Sprinkle lots of cheese on the mash and bake in the oven for half an hour and grill it before you take it out, or until the cheese has become golden and crunchy. Spoon it out into portions, try to keep the layers as they are originally.
