You'll need

1 tbsp vegetable oil
250 g bacon
6 potatoes, medium, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
2 onions, peeled and sliced
5 carrots, peeled and sliced
500 ml chicken stock
150 g cheddar cheese, grated
black pepper, to taste

Equipment

large ovenproof lidded pan
grill

Method

Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pan (we use the light blue Le Creuset). Fry the bacon until it starts to crisp and brown. Remove it and set aside, leaving the fat and juices in the pan.
Lay potatoes over the bottom of the pan, then a layer of onion, a layer of carrot and a layer of bacon. Grind pepper over.
Repeat the layers, finishing with pepper. Taste before adding salt, as the bacon makes it salty already.
Pour over the stock and cover with a lid or foil. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Preheat the grill. When everything is cooked, sprinkle the cheese on top.
Grill until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
