Bacon And Onion Pie

1. 1

   Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes until soft. Drain and mash.

2. 2

   While the potatoes are cooking, heat and cook the bacon in half the butter and the oil in a frying pan until just beginning to brown and crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.

3. 3

   Add the onions to the pan. Add seasoning and the sugar. Fry gently until the onions are soft and caramelized. Take care not to allow them to burn.

4. 4

   Return the bacon to the pan and stir evenly through the onions. Add a little broth or water to de-glaze the pan and then tip the mixture into a heatproof dish.

   Add the remaining butter and 4oz of the cheese to the potato. Season and mix well. Preheat the broiler to high.

6. 6

   Spoon the mixture over the onions and bacon, scatter with the remaining cheese and top with the slices of tomato.

7. 7

   Place under a hot grill until the cheese is melted and brown. Serve.
