Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic and celery. Thinly slice onion. Grate the carrot.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook celery, carrot and diced bacon, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add All-American spice blend, tomato paste and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir through baby spinach leaves and caramelised onion. Season to taste.
• In a small heatproof bowl, add the butter, then microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Transfer beef filling to a baking dish and sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese. • Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry and place on top of beef mixture to completely cover. • Gently brush melted butter over pastry to coat. Bake pie until pastry is golden and cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes.
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
• Divide smokey beef, bacon and caramelised onion filo pie between plates. Enjoy
