Cooking Instructions and Tips
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Halfway through, sprinkle the grated hard Italian style cheese over the chips and toss, then return to the oven for the remaining time.
Meanwhile, slice the buns top down through the middle (but not all the way through).
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Grate the Cheddar.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, lay in the bacon rashers and fry until crispy and brown, 3-4 mins on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Keep the bacon fat in the pan and pop back on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.
Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the garlic and Cajun style spice mix to the beef. Cook for 30 secs.
Stir in the passata, red wine jus paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).
Bring to the boil, stirring, then turn the heat down slightly and simmer until thickened, 7-8 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Meanwhile, crumble the crispy bacon.
Pop the buns onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Switch your oven setting to grill and move the chips to the bottom shelf.
Remove the buns from the oven and spoon in as much chilli into each as you'd like, then top with the cheese.
Grill until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 2-3 mins.
Just before everything's ready, toss the salad leaves with the balsamic glaze and a drizzle of olive oil.
Place the Cajun flavoured chilli filled buns onto your plates and sprinkle over the bacon crumble.
Serve the cheesy chips and salad alongside.
Enjoy!
