1 tablespoon tomato puree
salt and pepper to taste
180 g chilli heatwave Doritos

Ingredients for the Cheese Sauce

25 g butter
2 tablespoon plain flour
400 ml milk I used semi-skimmed but you can use a plant based milk
110 g mature cheddar
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon English mustard

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180℃

How to make the mince filling

Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and then gently cook the diced onion, celery and carrot. After about 5 minutes, stir in the crushed garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the mince. Keep breaking it up with a wooden spoon and brown on the outside.
Add the herbs, chilli flakes, tomato puree and tinned tomatoes. Also fill up the empty tinned tomatoes tin with water and add that too. Bring to the boil and then lower the heat to a simmer.

How to make the cheese sauce

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Then stir in the flour. It will form a paste. Stir over a medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Add a little bit of milk at a time. Make sure the mixture is well combined before adding more. When all the milk has been added, keep stirring over the heat until it thickens.
Take it off the heat and stir in the paprika, mustard and most of the cheese. Keep some aside to put on top of the lasagne.

Assembling and cooking the Doritos lasagne

Taste the mince and add a little extra salt and pepper if necessary.
Lightly grease a lasagne dish. Add mince, cheese sauce and Doritos. Then another layer of mince and Doritos. Top with cheese sauce and scatter on any reserved grated cheese.
Bake in the oven at 180℃ for about 20 minutes if the sauces were still hot when assembling. If you've prepared it earlier then you may need to bake it for a little longer to make sure it is thorougly heated through.
