Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Slice each potato in half. • Place potato halves, cut-side down, on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake until crisp and tender, 30-35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice tomato into wedges. • Grate carrot. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add tomato and mixed salad leaves. Set aside.
TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp!
• When the potato has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook diced bacon, beef mince and carrot, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 5-6 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add All-American spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium. Add sweet & savoury glaze and the water. Stir to combine. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the spice blend.
• Toss tomato salad to combine. • Divide jacket potatoes between plates. Top with beef, bacon and Cheddar cheese. • Serve with salad and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The spiced beef mince was well received by most, though several found the sweet-and-savoury glaze made the mince too sweet — using less glaze or serving it on the side helped balance the dish.
- Ease of prep: This is a simple, family-friendly recipe that most found quick and easy to pull together on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Several customers felt the side salad was bland and repetitive; swapping it for steamed vegetables, baby spinach cooked into the mince, or adding extras like avocado or diced tomato improved the meal. One reviewer added diced tomatoes, garlic, and passata to the mince for a richer result.
- Leftovers: A number of customers enjoyed this as a next-day lunch, and one noted the leftover mince doubled as a great taco filling.
- Portions: Some customers found the potato portions on the small side; adding an extra potato or two is an easy fix for bigger appetites.
