Get Started
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle.

Get Frying
2

a) Meanwhile, halve the green pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips, then chop into roughly 1cm pieces.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

c) Once hot, add the beef mince, Central American style spice mix and sliced pepper. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince

Finish the Prep
3

a) While the mince cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Grate the Cheddar cheese.

c) Once the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Stew Time
4

a) Add the garlic to the mince and cook for 1 min more. 

b) Stir through the passata, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). 

c) Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.

Flavour Town
5

a) Stir the BBQ sauce through the mince and cook until thickened and warmed through, 1-2 mins.
