Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan, 400°F, Gas Mark 6).Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep casserole pan over a medium heat. Add the smoked bacon and fry for 10 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.Step 3
Add the onions, garlic, and rosemary to the pan and fry for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the potatoes and stuffing, stir, and remove from the heat.Step 4
Make the cheese sauce by heating the butter in another large, non-stick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk together. Continuously whisk while adding the milk a little at a time. Once smooth, season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the Dijon mustard and thyme. Bring to a simmer, whisking continuously, until thickened.Step 5
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir through most of the cheese (leaving a handful aside) until melted. Pour the cheese sauce into the pan with the potatoes, onions, and stuffing. Stir well to combine.Step 6
