Crispy oven chips loaded with beef mince, melted cheese and all the best toppings. A proper fakeaway the whole family will love.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 700g potatoes, cut into chips
• 500g beef mince
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 peppers, diced
• 2 tsp garlic granules
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 150g grated cheddar cheese
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Toss the chips with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, salt and pepper and spread out on a baking tray. Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
2. While the chips are cooking, heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and peppers and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
3. Add the beef mince and cook until browned. Stir in the garlic granules, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Simmer for 5–10 minutes.
4. Once the chips are cooked, transfer them to an ovenproof dish. Spoon the beef mince over the top and sprinkle generously with cheese.
5. Return to the oven for 5–8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
6. Serve straight away.
