It used to be that ladies arranged their household, raised children, knitted socks and waited for their breadwinner husbands, but today everything has changed. Now lovely ladies conquer professional heights, occupy leadership positions, but, unfortunately, this does not always free them from household responsibilities. Returning home from work, you only want one thing - to change clothes, have dinner and relax after a hard day. For this case, you should always have a recipe for a simple, but at the same time satisfying dish at hand, which we will tell you about. Why not enjoy a potato casserole with minced meat? It does not need to be cooked for a long time, the main thing is to cut all the products and put them in a form. Ingredients:

- the same amount of any ground beef
- salt - according to your taste
- two large bulbs
- 100 grams of grated cheese (buy any hard grade)
- vegetable oil - for frying
- 50 grams of fresh butter
Method of preparation:The first thing you need to do is boil the potatoes, after salting the water. It is better to cook them in their skins: then the starch inside the vegetable will stay there, thanks to which the casserole will hold its shape better. But some people prefer to boil peeled potatoes, so do it at your own discretion. Our job is to warn you! When the potatoes are ready, mash them into a thick puree, adding a little butter. If the mass is too thick, dilute it with a small amount of the liquid in which the vegetable was boiled. You can also use slightly warmed milk for this. Now cut the peeled onion into small cubes and mix it with the minced meat, do not forget to add a couple of pinches of salt, pepper if desired. We used a store-bought meat product, but it is better, of course, to make the minced meat yourself. Its recipe is quite simple: mince a piece of boiled or fresh meat once, and then again, but with the addition of onions. Then you will be absolutely sure of the quality and freshness of the product. Now let's get back to our casserole. So, put the minced meat with the onion in a preheated saucepan with vegetable oil and fry, stirring constantly. When the meat turns grayish-brown, the filling is ready - you can safely remove it from the stove. Grease the baking dish with the rest of the butter and put ½ of the mashed potatoes, then the minced meat, and cover everything with the last layer of potatoes on top. Level each "floor" of your masterpiece with a special spatula, lightly pressing the ingredients - then the casserole will not fall apart. Now sprinkle the dish with pre-grated cheese and put it in a preheated oven. The optimal cooking temperature is 200 degrees. Get ready to enjoy a fragrant potato casserole made from minced meat in 20 minutes. You can pour low-fat sour cream or cream on it. Enjoy your meal! We will tell you another recipe, or rather, the secret of the perfect dish. To ensure that the dish is easily removed from the mold, does not crumble or break, place a regular sheet of unleavened lavash on the bottom of a greased baking sheet or other dish that you use for baking, and then form your product on it. Try it, and you will see for yourself that thanks to these simple steps, you can easily remove the casserole without damaging it.
Baked potato pudding
This potato casserole with minced meat is prepared withadding ripe tomatoes. Its recipe is as simple as the previous one, but the filling is much juicier and more original. This is not at all the usual and familiar dish from childhood that kids are fed in kindergarten - we offer you a completely new dish. You probably haven't tried anything like this yet! Ingredients:
- half a kilogram of minced pork
- 500 grams of white potatoes
- 200 grams of Russian cheese (you can use any other variety)
- olive oil - for frying minced meat
- 350 grams of ripe tomatoes
- onions - 150 grams
- Salt and seasonings - to taste
- little piece of butter
Method of preparation:Peel the potatoes and boil them in slightly salted water. To cook the vegetable as quickly as possible, cut it into several pieces. Meanwhile, cut the peeled onion into medium cubes and the tomatoes into pieces. The tomatoes that are sold in stores today are not comparable to those that grandmothers grow in their gardens. Therefore, if you bought a thick-skinned product in a supermarket, it is better to peel it. To make it easier, pour hot and then cold water over the vegetable. The skin will crack, and all you have to do is carefully get rid of it. When the procedure is finished, pour olive oil into the frying pan and put in the onion. Fry it, stirring constantly, and then add the tomatoes and cook for about three to four minutes. Then combine everything with the minced pork, lightly salt, pepper and stew until the meat changes color. Drain excess liquid from the potatoes, add a piece of butter and mash everything until puree. If you have a blender, use it - this will help to avoid lumps and make the mixture more homogeneous. As for the cheese, grate it on a medium grater. The recipe is coming to an end, there is only one small thing left - to form a casserole. To do this, fill a form greased with any oil with previously prepared products. Lay out the layers in this way: first the fried minced meat, and then the puree. Smooth the surface of the food with a spatula and sprinkle with Russian cheese. We recommend cooking the dish in the oven at 180 degrees, as this is the most suitable temperature at which everything is evenly baked and does not burn. After about 30 minutes, you can take the product out and put it on the table. For beauty, sprinkle your creation with freshly chopped parsley. Pour homemade sour cream over each portion and call the family to the table.

- 150 grams of cheese, grated
- black pepper lay as desired
- three chicken eggs
- 20 grams of flour
- table salt - half teaspoon
- sour cream - to lubricate the product (you need about three tablespoons)
- breadcrumbs
Method of preparation:We think everyone knows the recipe for mashed potatoes. But just in case, we will remind you: boil the vegetable, then mash it with the addition of butter. If the mass seems thick to you, dilute it with either warm pasteurized milk or potato broth. Beat the eggs with a whisk, combine them with flour, stir a few more times and add to the puree, which you knead until smooth. Move on to the next step - now you need to prepare the meat filling. To do this, fry the diced onion in olive oil, and when it lightens a little, put in the minced beef and a few pinches of salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix the mass well, and then mash it with a fork. You can use any dish as a baking dish: a baking sheet or a frying pan. The main thing is that the food does not stick or burn - to do this, treat the inner edges and bottom of the metal product with oil and sprinkle with breading. Then put half of the finished puree, ½ cheese, cooled minced meat, again "Russian" product, and then the rest of the potatoes. The casserole should be beautiful and neat, so smooth its surface with a spatula or a regular spoon. Now grease with sour cream, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and put in the oven. This dish should be cooked at 200 degrees for no longer than 35 minutes. Potato casserole with minced meat goes perfectly with such snacks as pickles, pickled or boiled beets.
Juicy dish of potatoes with mutton ground meat
Want to please your husband with a potato casserole?from minced meat? Then take note of this recipe. Keep in mind that in this case, lamb is used, which is quite fatty in itself. If your stomach does not accept such food, then it is better to prepare the filling from beef or pork. Ingredients:

- five tablespoons of vermouth
- seven large tomatoes
- grated Parmesan - 100 grams
- 40 grams of refined vegetable oil
- 30 grams of breadcrumbs
- Oregano, white pepper or other spices - optional
Method of preparation:If you want the dish to look appetizing and keep its shape, we recommend boiling the potatoes in their skins in salted water. This method helps to preserve the starch inside the vegetable, so it does not lose its “sticky” qualities. When everything is ready, mash the potatoes a little, then put them in a blender and pour in warm milk. Be sure to preheat the latter product, otherwise the puree may turn blue. Now beat everything well several times and leave to cool. Peel the onions, chop into cubes and put in a saucepan with heated oil. Fry a little, then add minced lamb, vermouth, half a glass of boiling water, as well as salt and spices. Cook over low heat until the liquid has completely evaporated, remembering to stir occasionally. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil and breadcrumbs to the bottom and inner edges of the pan, in which you lay out the future casserole in layers. The first row consists of half a potato, then comes grated Parmesan, meat filling, and the last "floor" is cooled mashed potatoes. Oh, and don't forget about the tomatoes. Cut them into thin slices and decorate the dish with them. The dish is cooked in the oven at 200 degrees. The recipe for this casserole can be slightly changed, thereby reducing the time it takes to cook it. Which, you must admit, is sometimes simply necessary, especially when you're in a hurry. In this case, the potatoes are not boiled, but simply cut into round slices and laid out on the bottom of the baking sheet. You probably serve sour cream or cream with the casserole. If you want variety, make a flavorful sauce yourself. You can use this recipe, for which you will need 50 grams of fresh champignons, a spoonful of flour, vegetable oil, and one onion. First, boil the mushrooms, and then cut them, as well as the onion, into small pieces. Now lightly fry the flour with vegetable oil and pour in a glass of the broth in which the champignons were cooked. When the mixture starts to boil, add the pre-fried vegetables, salt and pepper to your liking. This sauce can be poured over potato casserole with vegetables, chicken, meat, and so on. Such a hearty dish will decorate any table and will be a wonderful reason to have a family dinner or lunch. We recommend reading:
