How many calories are in this Chilli Con Carne Hotpot?

Step 1
Peel the potatoes and slice into 1/2 cm slices. Place into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes, until the potato is just starting to soften but still holding its shape. Drain, then leave to one side to cool.
Step 2
Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, carrot, and red pepper, and fry for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the mince to the pan and cook until it starts to brown (about 4 minutes).
Step 4
Add the courgette, mushrooms, and kidney beans, and fry for a further 2 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, Henderson’s relish, stock pot, water, and chilli powder. Simmer for 10 minutes — until the vegetables have softened and the chilli has started to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 190ºC.
Step 6
Pour the chilli into the oven dish and top with the potato slices overlapping the edges slightly. Spray the top with a little bit of low-calorie cooking spray.
Step 7
Place the dish in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the potato slices are golden brown. Serve with your accompaniment of choice.
