Ingredients

• 500 g ground beef (minced meat)
• 600 g frozen hash browns
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 2 finely minced garlic cloves
• 100 g frozen peas
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 150 ml beef stock
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook while breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until fully browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

Pour in the beef stock and add the frozen peas. Stir and simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the beef mixture into a large ovenproof dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen hash browns and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they begin to crisp up.

Step 9

Arrange the hash browns in a single layer on top of the beef mixture in the ovenproof dish.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hash browns.

Step 11

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the hash browns are golden and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Hash Brown and Mince Dinner!
