The simple, honest flavour and rib-sticking nature of this dish makes it good family food. Ingredients:
400 g lean ground beef (or substitute with beef mince if you prefer) |
2 medium onions, chopped |
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped |
400 g chopped tomatoes |
salt and pepper, to season |
cheese sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons flour |
1 cup milk |
1/4 cup edam cheese, grated |
500 g potatoes, peeled, cut in 1cm slices |
1/4 cup edam cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Brown mince in a pan. Add onions and cook gently until soft. Stir in parsley and tomatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. While mince is cooking, make cheese sauce. Heat oil in a small saucepan. Stir in flour. Cook gently for a minute. Gradually add milk while whisking continuously for a lump-free sauce. Stir in grated cheese.
4. Grease a 1 1/2 litre ovenproof dish. Place a layer of sliced potato in the bottom. Spoon a little meat sauce over potato, then top with another layer of potato. Continue layering in this manner until mixture is used. Finish with a layer of potato.
5. Pour cheese sauce over potato dish and gently shake dish so sauce works its way through. Top with extra cheese. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until potatoes are cooked. Serve with seasonal vegetables.
