Serving Ideas
Sour Cream (recommended)
Avocado (optional)
Coriander/Cilantro (optional)
Cheese (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
Add olive oil to a 10"/26cm cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add the red pepper & onion and fry until they begin to soften, then add in the garlic and fry for another 30-60 seconds.
Add the beef and fry until brown all the way through, breaking up with your wooden spoon until well crumbled as you go.
Stir in the tomato puree and fry for 1-2 mins, then add in the beef stock, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, kidney beans, paprika, cumin, chilli powder, ground coriander, oregano, sugar, salt & pepper. Give it a good stir then simmer for 15mins, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the baby potatoes around 1/4" (1/2cm). After the beef has simmered for 15mins, turn off the heat and wait for it to stop bubbling. Smooth the top with your wooden spoon.
Starting from the outside, lay the potato slices in a ring, overlapping each one covering around 1/4 of the previous potato. Work your way to the centre, covering as many gaps as possible.
Sprinkle over paprika, garlic powder, salt & black pepper then gently brush with oil. Tightly cover the top with foil then bake for 30mins.
Remove the foil then bake for another 15-20 mins at 200C/390F, or until the potatoes are knife tender. You can then flick on the grill to crisp them up a little if you'd like.
Plate up with your favourite toppings and enjoy!
