Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
Halve the potatoes lengthways and pop them onto a baking tray.
Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Rub the oil over the potatoes, then lay them cut-side down.
Bake on the top shelf of your oven until tender and a knife slips in easily, 30-40 mins.
TIP: Alternatively, if you have a microwave, you can speed things up. Halve the potatoes lengthways, then prick all over with a knife. Rub with a little oil and season with salt. Place cut-side down onto a plate, then microwave on high until tender, 15-18 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a wide-bottomed saucepan (with a lid) on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 2-3 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Once browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir the tomato puree, Cajun spice mix, beef stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the beef mince.
Bring up to the boil, cover the pan with a lid, then lower to a simmer.
Cook until thickened, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once your chilli has thickened and the mince is cooked, stir through the BBQ sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.
Once the potatoes are ready, remove them from your oven.
Add a knob of butter (if you have any) to the cut sides of the potatoes. Roughly mash it into the potato with a fork.
Share your jacket potatoes between your plates and top with the Cajun beef mince.
Finish with a dollop of soured cream, the smashed avocado and a sprinkle of crispy onions.
Serve the baby leaves alongside finished with a drizzle of oil.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The Cajun beef mince is well-seasoned and full of flavour, with the soured cream and smashed avocado balancing the spice nicely.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with the beef simmering while the potatoes bake.
- Suggestions: Several cooks added kidney beans, butter beans, or mixed beans to bulk out the mince and add texture; frying diced onion and garlic into the beef is also worth trying. If the potatoes stick to the tray when cooked cut-side down, consider lining the tray or cooking them whole and halving after baking. Note that microwave timings may vary — if using that method, check the potatoes regularly and consider finishing them in the oven with a little salted oil for a better result.
- Next-day meals: The beef mince keeps well and makes a satisfying lunch the following day.
- Portions: The mince portion can feel light, especially for larger households; adding beans is an easy way to stretch it further.
