Method

  • step 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.

  • step 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.

RECIPE TIPS
ALL-AMERICAN SLOPPY JOES

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.

A good one to have on the recipe list. It's funny because my sons dislikes spag Bol but will eat this (which I think is quite similar to a spag Bol) the only bit I would say if u don't like Soggy bread cook your garlic bread seperatly rather than On top of your mince mix. I don't mind it but I…

I adapted the recipe and used 200ml stock, small tin of kidney beans, hot chilli powder and smoked paprika, really tasty and gave it more of a kick.

Made this because the mince was out and couldn't be bothered making a lasagne! I made the American version with Heinz BBQ sauce, additional tomato purée and mushrooms. I chopped the onions with a knife (I don't like graters!) and used all the stock. As I was spooning it into the dish for the oven I…
