Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the sliced onions, cook on a low heat for 20 mins until starting to caramelise, squeeze in the mustard, add the maple syrup and cook for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

While the onions cook, brown the mince in a separate frying pan over a high heat for 5-10 minutes, until browned all over and starting to turn crisp.

Step 3

Add half the caramelised onion, garlic and paprika allow to cook for a further 2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir through the tin of tomatoes and 2 tbsp of Burger Sauce and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Place a lid on and cook for 15 – 20 minutes - the sauce should have reduced and thickened.

Preheat your grill to high, top the dish with the cheese, chopped green peppers and tomatoes.
