- When onions have become clear add the butter and melt
- Sprinkle the flour over the top of the neat and onion mixture and stir in to absorb the butter. Cook for 1 minute whilst stirring.
- Add the beef stock a little at a time stirring well in between to avoid any lumps.
- Put the meat layer into your chosen baking dish - I use a rectangular 12x8, 2 inch deep glass dish but you could choose round, smaller, deeper

- When the leeks are soft, sprinkle over the flour and stir in for 1 minute
- Add the milk and stir in well now add the mustard powder and grated cheese

- Bake at 180ºC gas 4 for 35 - 40 minutes until the meat starts bubbling through and it starts to form a sticky crust
