Step by step
Method
- 01
Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss potato wedges with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- 02
In a large pan, brown the beef mince. Drain any excess fat. Add diced red bell pepper, grated carrots, and minced garlic. Cook until vegetables soften.
- 03
Stir in chopped tomatoes/passata, rinsed black beans, water (if needed), and seasonings. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- 04
Once potato wedges are cooked, arrange them on a baking tray. Top with the beef mixture and sprinkle generously with grated cheddar cheese.
- 05
Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Useful, not complicated
Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Get crisp edges
Let excess steam escape before the final bake or air-fry; a dry surface gives potatoes their best golden finish.
Make it your own
Use the vegetables you already have and keep the same cooking method; this recipe is flexible enough for practical substitutions.
