Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 30 min

Step 1:
How to bake potatoes with minced meat in a slow cooker in layers? Prepare the ingredients for pouring. All products should be at room temperature, so they need to be taken out of the refrigerator in advance and held for about half an hour. Take sour cream with a fat content of 20-30%, spices — to taste, I have Provencal herbs.
Step 2:
Beat the egg with a whisk until smooth. We just need the egg mass to mix well, there is no need to beat it up to splendor.
Step 3:
Add fat sour cream, Provencal herbs and salt to the beaten egg. Fatty sour cream will make the filling more saturated, tender, soft. If you take another one, it will turn out less tasty.
Step 4:
Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. This can be done with a fork, spoon or the same whisk. A semi-viscous homogeneous mass should be obtained.
Step 5:
Prepare the remaining ingredients: minced meat, potatoes, cheese, ground black pepper and salt. You can use any minced meat at will: beef, pork, a mixture of beef and pork, chicken; store-bought or self-cooked. And it must be thawed in advance.
Step 6:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into not very thick circles. If you cut the potatoes into cubes, then the layer will not be completely closed and the meat juice from the minced meat will flow through the potatoes. And this will reduce the juiciness of the meat layer.
Step 7:
Grate the cheese on a large or medium grater (it makes no sense to grate on a small grater, because the cheese will melt anyway). By the way, for cheese lovers, you can take a little more of it — then the crust will turn out more saturated. Choose a good, high-quality product, without milk fat substitutes. And it will be better if the cheese melts well.
Step 8:
Put the first layer on the bottom of the greased vegetable oil bowl of the slow cooker: half of the potato slices overlap. The bottom of the slow cooker should be completely covered with potatoes and preferably in two layers. There should be no gaps between the circles. Lightly season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Step 9:
Spread all the minced meat evenly on top. I use mixed minced pork and beef. I did not salt or pepper the minced meat, since everything is poured on top with a sour cream mixture that already contains salt. During cooking, the layers will be soaked with pouring, and salt will be enough. Our family doesn't like onions, so I didn't add them. But you can cook with onions. Add the onion to the minced meat before putting it in the slow cooker.
Step 10:
Pour half of the sour cream mixture over the minced meat for pouring.
Step 11:
Put the remaining potato slices on the minced meat. Pour the remaining sour cream mixture over the potatoes.
Step 12:
Sprinkle everything with grated cheese on top.
Step 13:
Put a bowl of minced meat and potatoes in a slow cooker. Set the Baking mode for 1 hour. Depending on the model of the slow cooker, more or less time may be needed. It all depends on the baking temperature, if you have it installed. I set the temperature to 160 degrees. In an hour, the minced meat and potatoes were ready. Cool the finished dish a little and serve it on the table. Enjoy your meal!

For many modern housewives, the slow cooker has replaced both the stove and the oven. The dishes cooked in it differ little from those prepared in the traditional way. A huge plus of the slow cooker is that the dish can be heated without removing it from the bowl. And the whole cooking process, in fact, takes place without our direct participation. We only need to fill the bowl with food, set the correct program and time, and then go about our business))

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.
