Method

  1. To prepare the Bolognese sauce; place all the sauce ingredients in a large pan, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan and dry fry the mince in batches for 5-7 minutes, breaking up any lumps with the back of a spoon. Add the onions and vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir the sauce into the mince, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Top with an even layer of cheese sauce, sprinkle with the cheese and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Serve with mixed salad and garlic bread.
