Why this works

A filling, protein-rich meal with moderate carbohydrate content, but it is also relatively high in fat, saturated fat and sodium.

Good protein from beef. Ground beef provides a substantial amount of complete protein, which supports muscle maintenance and satiety.

Vitamin C from peppers. The peppers contribute vitamin C and some antioxidants, helping add micronutrient value to the meal.

Higher sodium from processed sauces. Brown gravy mix, soy sauce and ketchup can push sodium up, so this dish may not suit a low-salt diet.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6).
Heat a dry frying pan and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the chopped peppers and cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the brown gravy mix made up according to the packet instructions, then add tomato ketchup, soy sauce and mustard for a savoury glaze.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened, then spoon the mixture into a baking dish.
Arrange the crispy rounds over the top and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Leave to stand for a few minutes before serving.
