Method

  1. Brown the mince in a non-stick pan for a few mins, then tip into a bowl. Whizz the onions in a food processor until finely chopped (or roughly grate if you don't have one). Tip into the pan with the oil, then cook for 2-3 mins until soft. Add the spices, cook for 1 min. Return the mince to the pan with the tomatoes and stock, then bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 mins.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and spoon the mince into an ovenproof dish. Arrange the baguette slices over the mince, then bake for 12 mins until the bread is crisp on top.

Cook the mince and onion as before, then mix in 4 tbsp barbecue sauce instead of the spices. Add a 400g can kidney beans, drained, with the tomatoes and stock, then simmer as recipe, left. Serve spooned over 4 halved burger buns, scattered with a little grated cheddar, if you like.

    My kids love this. It's dead easy to make. I use BBQ sauce instead and a splash of balsamic vinegar instead of spices. I serve it with rice or spaghetti (as well as garlic bread). Great midweek meal that you can freeze too.

    Too watery, and overall very bland!

    Excellent comfort food and easy to make. Added baked beans, and a squeeze of tomato and anchovy pastes, for a richer flavour. Will do again
