I always want more potatoes with my hotpot, so this is my solution: cut them into cubes and pile them high. This also makes the recipe way less fiddly. To get this dish under £1 I swapped stewing beef for minced beef, which also means the whole thing is ready in a fraction of the time it takes to cook a regular hotpot.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C/gas mark 5.

Step 2

Fry the onion in an ovenproof frying pan in a splash of olive oil over a medium heat for a few minutes until softened. Add the minced beef, season with salt and pepper and fry for about 10 minutes until cooked through and nicely browned, adding the garlic about halfway through.

Step 3

Tip in the chopped tomatoes and crumble in the stock cube, then stir and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced. Toss the potato cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, top the minced beef with the potato cubes, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the oregano.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. Serve with plenty of cracked black pepper over the top.
