The recipe is surprisingly simple and does not require much energy. A good combination of potatoes, eggs and flour. The casserole keeps its shape, and the taste is softer and juicier than the one traditionally served in public catering. And she looks much more cheerful. To get the same result, take eggs with a bright yolk color. This potato casserole with minced meat is being prepared in the oven, the recipe with the photo step by step, I hope everything will be clear, since in fact there are no difficulties. The casserole is actually easier to make than, for example, mashed burgers.

Ingredients:

• Minced meat - 500 g,
• Potatoes - 1 kg (unpeeled weight),
• Eggs - 3 pieces,
• Flour - 3 level tablespoons.
• Medium onion - 1 piece,
• Cheese - 100 grams,
• Sour cream - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1.5 teaspoons
• Pepper to taste

How to cook minced potato casserole in the oven

1. Let's start the process with potatoes. Wash, clean (in the process of peeling, the weight of the potatoes is reduced to 700-800 grams), cut in half, fill with hot water and cook until tender. It takes me 35-40 minutes. Readiness is checked with a fork. If it enters the potato easily, then it's done.

2. Finely chop the onion, pour into a frying pan greased with vegetable oil.

Fry until golden brown for 7-10 minutes over medium heat until golden brown.

3. Put the minced meat in a frying pan. Whichever you prefer. Our most popular option is mixed minced pork and chicken. Very good with pork and veal.

4. Mix the minced meat with onions, put on the stove and cook for 15 minutes, stirring and breaking the minced meat with a spatula so that it does not stick together into lumps. The first five minutes, especially the minced meat, should not be left unattended, because it sticks together during this period. And when you already see that there are no damp areas left, you can move away from the stove, because the fried minced meat no longer sticks together.

5. Drain the water completely from the finished potatoes and grind the hot one with a crush. This is an important point. The cooled potatoes will become sticky and you won't be able to knead them normally.

6. Let the potatoes cool a little, add three eggs and three tablespoons of flour (without a slide!).

We mix. You should get such a yellowish mass.

7. Everything. It remains only to collect the casserole. It will consist of six "floors":
- potatoes,
- cheese,
- ground meat,
- cheese,
- potatoes,
- sour cream.

We take a casserole dish. Lubricate the bottom with oil. Divide the potato mass approximately in half. Spread half on the bottom of the mold and flatten with a spoon. The better you level, the more aesthetically pleasing the minced meat layer will look.

Then lay out a layer of grated cheese. A little, 50 grams is enough.

Top with a layer of minced meat. We also level and tamp lightly.

A little more cheese on top of the minced meat.

And potatoes on top again. To make the potatoes lie evenly, spread them in heaps with a spoon on different parts of the casserole, and then smooth them with gentle movements.

We make the top layer as even as possible. Some, for aesthetics, draw grooves of various shapes along it. But for the first time I decided not to risk it.

And finally sour cream. I have 20 percent.

8. Put the minced potato casserole in the oven. Temperature - 180 degrees. The baking time is very individual. The casserole is done when the top is golden and shiny. My oven did this in an hour.

In order for the casserole to hold its shape well, you need to let it cool until it is warm. Then cut with a sharp knife and arrange on plates, prying with a thin, well-sliding spatula. Bon Appetit!

Nowadays, in pursuit of time, we, as a rule, try to do everything at once. The fast pace of life and constant haste make us sometimes adapt to the conditions in which we somehow have to be and get used to them.

The changes also apply to our diet, because sometimes, in an active rhythm of life, we have to devote less time to cooking homemade food. For such cases, we offer several recipes for potato casserole with minced meat, the familiar taste of which, many of us may associate with memories from childhood, when we went to kindergarten or school.

Potato casserole with minced meat

Potato casserole is one of the simplest, most delicious and quite hearty dishes that will appeal to both adults and children. And the simplicity of its preparation in the oven allows you to cook this dish, practically, even every day.

• Potatoes - 9-12 pieces
• Minced meat - 0.5 kg
• Butter - 50-70 gr
• Flour - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 piece
• Cheese - 80-100 gr
• Tomato paste -1 tbsp spoon
• Eggs - 1 piece

Preparation:

1. To prepare potato casserole with minced meat, we need potatoes and minced meat. Minced meat can be bought ready-made or cooked at home.

If you buy ready-made minced meat in the store, then the best minced meat is a mixture of pork and beef. Such minced meat will be less fatty, which will be especially useful for people who watch their figure. You can also use minced chicken to prepare this dish.

3. While the potatoes are boiling, you can start preparing the filling for our casserole. Chop a small onion and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. Then add the cooked minced meat to the pan and fry it until tender, which takes about 15-20 minutes over medium heat.

After the minced meat is fried, add salt, pepper and spices, as well as tomato paste. Fry for another 1.5-2 minutes and the filling for our casserole is ready.

4. For the filling to cool down faster, it must be transferred to a separate plate. And at this time we will start cooking boiled potatoes, which then need to be overheated.

You can crush potatoes in a saucepan with an ordinary crush or a mixer with a special attachment - in general, with improvised means that you have in your kitchen. Also, the most common rolling pin is suitable for these purposes.

When you crush potatoes, you need to add butter, a little flour (one tablespoon will be enough) and one fresh egg. The result should be something similar to mashed potatoes, which is usually served as a side dish with any meat or fish dish.

Please note that you should not add a lot of flour, as too much flour will thicken the puree and turn it into a pie.

5. Then prepare a baking dish. Any form can be. However, a ceramic or glass bowl is most suitable. Next, carefully grease the prepared form with vegetable oil and put a part of the previously prepared mashed potatoes into it.

6. On top of the laid out layer of potatoes, evenly sprinkle with grated cheese. Then we spread the prepared meat filling, which must also be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the dish. After the minced meat filling is laid, you can grate some more cheese on top.

When cooking in the oven, make sure that the cheese on the top layer of the casserole does not burn. If it starts to burn quickly, reduce the heat or cover with foil and continue baking it.

It is strongly not recommended to cut the finished dish into portions, hot, as it will simply fall apart. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to let the casserole cool down for a while, and then proceed to serving and serving it.
