Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a full kettle
Peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces, then add them to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender, then drain and return to the pot to steam dry
Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat
Once hot, add your beef mince with a generous pinch of salt and pepper then cook for 4-5 min or until browned all over, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
While the beef is cooking, peel and finely dice your red onion[s]
Drain and rinse your black beans
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Once the beef has browned, add the diced onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until starting to soften and the beef is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Dissolve your beef stock mix in 250ml [325ml] [425ml] boiled water with your tomato paste, chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar – this is your chipotle stock
Once the onion has softened, add your chopped garlic, ground smoked paprika, ground cumin and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] flour to the pan and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add the chipotle stock and drained black beans to the pan and bring to the boil
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4-5 min or until the sauce has slightly thickened, then remove the pan from the heat – this is your chilli mixture
Grate your cheddar cheese
Return the drained potatoes to a low heat with 1/3 of your soured cream, half the grated cheese (save the rest for garnish!) and a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Mash until smooth – this is your mashed potato
Transfer the chilli mixture to an oven-proof dish, top with the mashed potato and score with a fork
Put the dish in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden brown and bubbling – this is your beef chilli con carne cottage pie
Slice your green chilli[es] finely
Serve the beef chilli con carne x cottage pie with a dollop of the remaining soured cream
Sprinkle over the remaining grated cheese and sliced green chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!)
Enjoy!
