500g pack lean beef steak mince

1 pack Asda Mild & Delicate Courgettes, cut into 1cm chunks

250g pack white mushrooms, roughly chopped

4 cloves garlic

1tbsp ground cumin

1tbsp smoked paprika

2tsp dried oregano

1 - 1 ½tsp hot chilli powder, depending on your heat preference

2tbsp tomato purée

2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes

1 beef stock cube, dissolved in 500ml just boiled water

400g tin red kidney beans in water, drained and rinsed

400g tin black beans in water, drained and rinsed

6 large baking potatoes (or use as many as the number of people you are serving)

Soured cream

Mature cheddar cheese, grated

Spring onions, sliced

Method

1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole pot over high heat. Once hot add the mince and fry, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon, for 4-5 mins until golden brown.
2
Add the onion, peppers, courgettes and mushrooms and cook for a further 4-5 mins until slightly softened. Add the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, chilli powder and tomato purée and cook for a further 2 mins.
3
Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, kidney beans and black beans and season well with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and continue to simmer for 20-25 mins, until thickened and the flavour has intensified. Add up to 100ml of water if it gets too thick.
4
To make the microwave baked potatoes, prick the surface of them with a fork and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 8-10 mins, turning them over halfway through, until soft when inserted with a skewer.
5
To serve, split the potatoes open and serve with the chilli on top with any of the other toppings if you like.
