Potato casserole with minced meat: 4 cooking options

You can cook many delicious and interesting dishes from potatoes. And if you add minced meat, their number increases exponentially! Today we offer you to cook a potato casserole with minced meat - a dish that can be equally successful everyday and festive. And we will bake it in the oven.

How to make minced meat and cheese potato casserole

I advise you to cook minced meat for such casseroles yourself. You can take any meat in the proportions you need and add those spices that you like, thus adjusting the taste as you wish. In addition, with purchased minced meat, you can stumble upon such a problem as the content of a large amount of liquid. Not the fact that all this surplus will drain. When I faced such a situation, I tried to adjust the thickness of the bread. In the end, I only spoiled the minced meat.

You will need:
