Ingredients

Method

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/gas mark 7

2

Fry your onions, garlic and a sprinkle of chilli flakes in a pan for four minutes or so, then add the chopped tomatoes and thyme leaves and continue to fry on a medium heat for a further eight minutes

3

Add the tins of beans and simmer for five more minutes, then tip the baked bean mixture into a large baking tray

4

Quarter or chop your potatoes into equal sized pieces and pop them into a pot of boiling, slightly salted water. Boil on a medium heat for around 15 minutes or until soft

5

Drain using a colander, then leave the potatoes to dry for a minute or two in the colander before tipping back into the pot. Add a knob of butter and start mashing your potatoes, gradually adding splashes of milk as you go along and a third of your grated cheese

6

Spread your cheesy potatoes evenly over the top of the beans right up to the edges and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top

7

Bake in the oven for about 15 mins until the top is a bit crispy. Serve with salad and some garlic bread.
