I took a classic Bolognese sauce and gave it a proper British twist—by turning it into a hearty hotpot feast! That’s right, I combined rich, meaty Italian Bolognese with the comforting layers of potato to make a traditional British hotpot. The result? It’s absolutely insane (and insanely delicious).

Method
Place a large sauté pan or pot over medium-low heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Then, add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, followed by a pinch of salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until soft, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Next, add the pork and beef mince and cook until browned. Add the tomato puree and mix it before pouring in the beef stock. You can also add some red wine here if you like. Bring it to a simmer and add in the tomato passata or chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, cover and leave to simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, create an even layer of potatoes on top of the bolognese sauce and brush with the melted butter.Spread out the sliced garlic, thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Repeat until you have used up all of the potato.
Place into a preheated oven at 190°C Fan for 50 minutes until golden and crisp on top. Serve and enjoy!
