Put half of potatoes in an ovenproof dish.
Fry the onion, bacon and garlic until onion is translucent and add the cumin, coriander, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the mince of your choice, breaking it with a spoon, and fry until cooked. Add Worcester sauce, tomato paste and water and cook until reduced and sticky.
Pour over the potato layer and cover with remaining sliced potatoes.

Bake at 190 ºC for ± 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
