Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to make a casserole of mashed potatoes in the oven with minced meat? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use any minced meat: pork, chicken, beef or mixed. I took minced pork. If necessary, defrost the minced meat in advance. Wash the vegetables and egg well and dry with napkins.
Step 2:
Peel the potatoes, rinse, put them in a saucepan with water. Salt the water. And cook the potatoes until tender. To speed up the process, cut the potatoes into smaller pieces.
Step 3:
Drain the water from the pan through a colander. Chop the hot potatoes into mashed potatoes with the addition of warm milk. You can do this in any way convenient for you: with a pusher, with a blender.
Step 4:
Add butter to the mashed potatoes, mix. Let the mashed potatoes cool down a little right in the pan.
Step 5:
Beat a raw chicken egg into the puree. Stir the mixture until the egg is completely combined with the mashed potatoes. You can do this with a spoon, fork, pusher or blender.
Step 6:
Peel the onion from the husk, cut into small cubes. To avoid watering your eyes during the cutting process, moisten the knife with cold water.
Step 7:
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, put onions. Fry the onion, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Step 8:
Add minced meat to the onion. Fry the minced meat over medium heat until the color changes. At the same time, stir it often and knead large lumps.
Step 9:
At the end of cooking, add salt to the minced meat, add dried basil, mix. Cook for another 5 minutes. You can add any spices to taste.
Step 10:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
Step 11:
Grease the baking dish with butter. Put half of the mashed potatoes, smooth them out. I used a shape measuring 18*18 cm .
Step 12:
Then evenly lay out a layer of minced meat.
Step 13:
Spread the remaining mashed potatoes on top, gently level.
Step 14:
Sprinkle the top of the casserole with grated cheese.
Step 15:
Bake the potato casserole in a preheated 180 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes. Focus on your oven. Serve the casserole hot as an independent dish. Bon appetit!

If there is mashed potatoes left from yesterday's dinner, then cook the casserole as quickly as possible. Especially if you fry the minced meat in advance.

You can put tomato slices on a layer of minced meat. This will diversify the filling and give the casserole even more juiciness.

Instead of cheese, the casserole can be smeared with sour cream on top.

I didn't make the mashed potatoes too thick, and the casserole turned out to be very tender and delicious. You can serve it with fresh vegetables and herbs.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use the useful information about the features of ovens !

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.
