Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 leek, finely sliced
400g beef mince
420g can Heinz Boston Bull Mean Beanz
8 sheets filo pastry
40g butter, melted

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 220°C or 200°C fan. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook onion, carrot, celery and leek for 10 minutes, stirring, until soft. Add mince and cook on high for 5 minutes, stirring to break up lumps, until brown. Add beans and ¼ cup water and season to taste. Spoon mixture into a shallow 5-cup ovenproof dish or four 1¼ cup ramekins.

2. Stack four sheets of filo, brushing with melted butter between each layer. Roll up loosely and cut into 1cm strips. Repeat with remaining filo sheets and butter. Loosen pastry slightly with fingers and place over bean mixture. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden and heated through. Serve hot.
