Ingredients:
6 large potatoes (large means large)
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons oil
200 gm bacon pieces
1 can baked beans in tomato sauce, 425 gm (1 pound) size
2 cups of grated cheese

Method:
Prick the potatoes all over and micro-wave till cooked. Leave aside until cool enough to handle.

Fry the onion in the oil till turning golden and add the bacon pieces. Cook for 3 minutes more.

Slice the potatoes and then assemble everything in a deep oiled casserole dish in this order:

Place one-third of the potatoes over the base, top with half the onion and bacon mixture, then half the baked beans and one-third of the cheese. Repeat this layering. Top with the remainder of the potatoes and then the remainder of the cheese.

Cook at 180 degrees celsius (350 degrees fahrenheit) for about 35 minutes.

Serves 4 as a total meal or more if you add salad or hot veges on the side.

Notes:
This is also great with a layer of mushrooms or a layer of silver beet (spinach) included. Lightly cook the silver beet or the mushrooms first though. When you assemble the Hot Pot it seems like there is not enough liquid but that's OK. It all works together well.
