One Pot Chili Mac and Cheese 🍲🌶️

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves , minced
1 onion , finely chopped
1 red capsicum , chopped
500g ground beef (mince)
800g crushed canned tomato
420g can red kidney beans , drained
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) beef broth (chicken broth also ok)
250g elbow macaroni pasta (elbow pasta), uncooked
2 cups (200g) shredded cheese
1/4 cup coriander finely chopped, for garnish

Spices (Homemade Chili Powder):
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or pure chilli powder (adjust spiciness to taste)
2 tsp paprika powder
2 tsp cumin powder
1 1/2 tsp onion powder (can sub garlic powder)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute. Then add capsicum and cook until onion is translucent.
Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go.
Once the beef turns from red to brown, add remaining ingredients except cheese. Stir, bring to simmer, then turn the heat down to medium.
Cover and cook for 12 minutes or until the macaroni is al dente, meaning just cooked, still a tiny bit on the firm side. It should be saucy but not tons of liquid (see video).
Turn the stove OFF but leave the pot on the stove. Stir through half the cheese – it should be a bit saucy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Top with remaining cheese, put the lid back on and leave until the cheese melts – about 2 minutes (sauce will absorb further during this period).
Sprinkle with coriander, if desired, and serve immediately.

Roasted cauliflower cheese filo pie 🥧

For the pie
1 head of cauliflower *ON SPECIAL*
leaves and stalk cut into small pieces, then cut into florets
2 tbsp olive oil
40g parmesan
100g melted butter or olive oil, for brushing the pastry and the tin
4 sheets of filo pastry

For the sauce
50g butter
40g plain flour
500ml whole milk
1 tsp mustard powder or English mustard
150g extra mature cheddar grated
grating of nutmeg
pinch of cayenne pepper

Method
1. Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 7. Tip the cauliflower florets and chopped leaves and stalks on a roasting tray and toss with the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Grate over about a quarter of the parmesan. Roast for 30 mins until lightly charred and tender. Set aside.
2. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the cheese sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until frothy. Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 mins to form a sandy paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once all the milk is incorporated, cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Add the mustard powder and all but a handful of the grated cheddar. Stir until smooth. Season with the nutmeg and cayenne, and some salt to taste.
3. Butter or oil a round spring form cake tin. Lay a sheet of filo pastry inside the dish, letting the edges overhang. Brush the filo with more butter or oil and scatter with a bit of parmesan and repeat with the rest of the sheets working your way around and overlapping them to cover the base and sides.
4. Tip the roasted cauliflower into the centre of the filo-lined dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Ruffle up the overhanging filo sheets around the filling and scrunch it slightly to create a decorative finish. Brush with more melted butter or oil. Scatter the exposed sauce with the remaining cheddar and sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. Bake for 20 mins then remove the tin but leave the base underneath it, and bake for a further 20 mins until the pastry is golden and crisp. Leave to cool slightly before serving.
