Method

  1. Finely chop the onion and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and brown the mince for 5 minutes, breaking it up. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 5 minutes more.500 g beef mince150 g brown onions1 pepper
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring, until thick enough to pile onto a bun. Season with salt and pepper.4 buns1 tin chopped tomatoes

  4. Split the buns and toast the cut sides in a dry pan or under the grill. Pile the beef into the buns and serve with the slaw.
The trick that makes it

Simmer until really thick so it piles up in the bun rather than running out.
