d) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
b) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

d) Drain and discard any excess fat from the beef, then season with salt and pepper.
a) Add the carrot and half the garlic to the beef. Cook until the carrot has softened, stirring frequently, 2-3 mins.

c) Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The beef is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) About 5 mins before everything's ready, grate the Cheddar cheese.
a) Halve the ciabatta and lay onto a baking tray, cut-side up.
b) Spread over the remaining garlic and drizzle with the olive oil for the garlic bread (see pantry for amount).
c) Sprinkle over the cheese and grill on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch it carefully as it can burn easily.
