Beef Potato Mushroom Casserole

Not the fastest recipe to cook, but it is definitely worth trying: two layers of potato and beef mushroom stuffing in between, all dressed up with sour cream sauce – tastes delicious fresh out of the oven. And also reheats well.

I used ground beef for this one, but any ground meat will work as well. Just use the one you like.

If you have a mandoline – use it, otherwise make sure potatoes are sliced in equally thick pieces for even cooking.

Ingredients:

  • 1lb ground beef
  • 0.75lb mushrooms
  • 2.5lb potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1.5 cups of sour cream
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 cups of shredded cheese
  • Bunch of dill
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
