Use our Smoky Chilli Mix to make this rich and spicy cross between a Hotpot and Cottage Pie. The longer it’s cooked, the better it tastes!

Serves 4-6

1 packet Smoky Chilli Mix
750g/1 1/2 lb beef mince (replace the beef with beans for a hearty veggie version)
2 beef stock cubes (or veggie ones!)
1 tbsp plain flour
1kg/ 2 lb potatoes, thinly sliced
4 heaped tbsp tomato puree mixed with 500ml/1 pint hot water
1 large pepper, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
handful fresh coriander, chopped
250g grated cheddar
3 eggs
150ml/ 1/4 pint milk

Fry the mince with the spices and stock cubes until cooked. Add the flour and cook briefly.
In a deep casserole place half the mince followed by half the potato and half the cheese. Pour over half the tomato sauce followed by half the onion, pepper and coriander. Season each layer with lots of pepper (it shouldn't need salt).
Repeat the layers, cover and cook for about an hour and a half at 160 degrees. Check that the potato feels really cooked when prodded.
Beat the eggs and milk together, pour over the dish and cook for about 20 minutes without the lid, until set.
Serve with a tangy Chipotle salsa, guacamole or just green vegetables.
