A classic combination of flavours for a comforting family meal, with just five ingredients
Ingredients
- 700g potatoes
- 400g lean lamb mince
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 660g jar tomato pasta sauce
- 350g pot ready-made cheese sauce or white sauce
- PLUS 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
-
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 10-12 mins or until half-cooked. Drain.
-
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Brown the mince in 2 batches, breaking up any lumps with the back of a wooden spoon. Tip all the mince back into the pan, add the cinnamon and fry for 1 min. Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer for 5 mins. Slice the potatoes as thinly as you can without breaking the slices.
-
Layer the mince and potatoes in a 1.5-litre baking dish. Season each layer and finish with a layer of potatoes. Spread the cheese or white sauce on top and bake for 35 mins until golden and the potatoes are tender.
