Description

This hearty ground meat and potato casserole is real comfort food! I especially like to make it in the fall when it gets colder outside. The ground meat is braised with onions, mushrooms and carrots in a delicious herbal broth and covered with a creamy mashed potato. The grated cheese ensures a golden brown crust. An absolute favorite dish that can also be prepared well in advance. A fresh green salad goes well with it. The recipe can be easily varied with other vegetables, such as peas or peppers.
