Cowboy hotpot Michelle Style

Hi all created another dish today
It's a lovely vegetarian dish and can easily be changed to vegan or even meat lovers delight..

so here's the basic recipe and then I will follow with how I changed it My way...


ingredients
1 Onion sliced
1 Red pepper sliced
2 Carrots chopped
Oil
115g Green Beans Chopped
1 Can Baked Beans
1 Can Sweet Corn
1 Tbsp Tomato puree
1 tsp Barbecue spice seasoning
115g Cheese (smoked if possible) cubeed
450g potatoes thinly sliced
25g Butter melted
salt and pepper

directions
1. Fry the onion, pepper and carrots in oil until softened not browned
2. Add green beans, baked bean, sweetcorn (and liquor if using canned), tomato puree and barbecue spice seasoning. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.  
3. Transfer vegetables to oven proff baking dish and scatter with cheese
4. Cover vegetables and cheese mixture with sliced potato, brush with butter, season with salt and pepper and bake at 190 degreee for 30-40 minutes until golden brown on top and potato is cooked. 

Ok how did I change this basic recipe... 
I didn't have green beans so I used peas instead... I didn't have tinned corn so used frozen instead and added 3/4 cup of water with one tomato and herb stock cube
I used 1 fresh green chilli very finely chopped and smoked paprika for extra flavouring
I used 5 vegetarian hotdogs for that yummy meat taste these were absolutely delicious addition
I used a smoked applewood cheese
and I used a grated cheese over the potato instead of butter 

This is a great recipe to adapt in so many ways... you could use your favourite bbq sauce instead 
you could add meat if your a meat eater.. 
you could omit the cheese if you like 
you could use mixed frozen veggies for convenience sake
you could change the veggies add more spice or take away some of the spice... 

Well that's the basic recipe with my changes have fun.. enjoy your veggies 

hugs Michelle
