Ingredients

• 600g ground beef mince
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ^½ cup water
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 5 medium potatoes

Method

Homemade taco seasoning – 1 ^½  teaspoons paprika · 1 teaspoon chili powder ^½ teaspoon oregano ^½ teaspoon salt or ^½ teaspoon garlic salt.

1. Preheat broiler. In a large ovenproof skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in water and taco seasoning; heat through. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Remove from heat.
2. In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes and remaining cheese; spread over beef mixture. Broil 4-6 in. from heat 5-6 minutes or until top is golden brown.

How to make mash: Peel the potatoes, chopping any larger ones so they’re all a similar size. Cook in a large pan of boiling salted water over a medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry for a couple of minutes, then tip back into the pan and mash well. When the potatoes are almost smooth, add half the butter, the milk and a good pinch of sea salt and stir until smooth.
