  1. PARBOIL Potato

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Potato in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. SAUCY MINCE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the Carrot and the onion. Fry until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the oregano and the tomato paste and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir in 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water and simmer until almost reduced, 5-8 minutes. Remove from the heat, add seasoning and a sweetener (to taste).

  3. CHEESE SAUCE

    Place a pot over medium heat with 20g [40g]|#7DA0D7 of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the flour to form the roux. Cook out for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the cheese and cook until melted. If the cheese sauce is too thick for your liking, loosen with water. Remove from the heat and season to taste.

  4. BAKE

    In an ovenproof dish, make a bed of the loaded mince, then top with the Potato and the cheese sauce. Bake until the top is lightly golden and the potatoes are cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
