Mince and Potato Hot Pot

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C.
• Add potato slices in a medium bowl with enough water.
• Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat.
• Stir the ground beef, onion, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Season it with salt and pepper.
• Cook beef until you notice it evenly browned, and onions become soft.
• To a separate medium saucepan, add 1/4 cup butter.
• When butter melts, blend in the flour and slowly stir in milk.
• Cook and stir the mixture for 5 minutes, or until it thickens.
• Reduce the flame. Blend cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Arrange a medium baking dish with half of potato slices.
• Add the ground beef mixture, and top with mushrooms. Layer the cheese sauce mixture. Top with the remaining potatoes. End with two tablespoons butter.
• Bake 30 - 40 minutes in the preheated oven until lightly browned.

TIP:

Most people also wrap it in an Aluminium foil. This makes clean-up easier.
