Step 1

Preheat oven to 220c/200c (fan) gas 7 and boil kettle. Slice potatoes (skin on) into thin discs

Step 2

Whilst the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop your brown onion. Top and tail, peel and dice your carrots.

Step 3

Heat a large, wide pan and a drizzle of veg oil over med to high heat. Once hot, add beef mince with generous pinch of salt and cook for 3-4mins or until beginning to brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go.

Step 4

Meanwhile, dissolve beef stock mix, tomato paste and marmite in 500ml boiling hot water. This is your stock.

Step 5

Once beef is done, add chopped onion, diced carrot to pan with generous grind of pepper. And cook for a further 3-4mins

Step 6

Once softened, add chopped garlic with 2tbsp flour and cook for 1 min. Once done add marmite stock and bay leaf with pinch of salt/sugar. Bring to boil over a high heat then reduce to med-high heat and cook for 4-5 mins or until sauce thickens and beef is cooked through (no pink meat) this is you beef and carrot hotpot mix!

Step 7

Once thickened, transfer beef and carrot hotpot mix to an oven proof dish. Top with softened potatoes slices and put dish back in the oven. For 15-20 mins or until potatoes are golden and hotpot is bubbling

Step 8

That's the beef hotpot all done. I like to add a bit of grated cheese onto of the potato slices and let it melt as an extra.
