Sloppy Joe Casserole

I wanted to try something different withthe pack of mince I had lurking in the fridge. A fried shared a recipe for BBQ Sloppy Joes, and after having a root around the internet because I didnt have the right ingredients for her version, I came up with this recipe.

BBQ Sloppy Joe

500g beef mince
2 onions whizzed up
4 tablespoons of BBQ sauce
400g tinned tomatoes
400 ml beef stock
400g tin berlotti beans
8 slices garlic bread (see recipe below or use a ready made garlic baguette)

Heat some oil in a large hob & oven proof dish. Add the onion and fry for a few minutes. Add the mince & brown. Add the BBQ sauce, stock, beans and tomatoes. Simmer for 20 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 200C. Add the slices of garlic bread and pop into the oven for 20 minutes until the garlic bread is baked.
