  1. Heat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, and lightly oil a medium baking dish.

  2. Warm the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika for 1 minute.

  3. Add the pork mince and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink meat remains.

  4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and hot vegetable stock, season with salt and black pepper, then simmer for 8 minutes until thickened.

  5. Spoon the mince into the baking dish, scatter over the grated cheddar and bake for 15 minutes until bubbling and golden. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let the mince mixture bubble gently before baking so the finished dish stays moist beneath the cheese.
