This kohlrabi casserole with ground beef is a dish that reminds me of my childhood. My grandma had a huge vegetable garden, and kohlrabi was always plentiful. She often just cooked it and served it with butter, but sometimes, when it was supposed to be something special, there was this casserole. I have adapted her recipe a bit over the years, especially by using the Thermomix®, which makes the preparation much easier. The kohlrabi is of course the main ingredient. It brings a slightly sweet, almost nutty note to the casserole and provides a pleasant texture. It is important that it is not cooked too soft, it should still have some bite. The ground beef provides the savory component and provides the necessary seasoning. I prefer to use beef ground beef, as it has a stronger taste, but you can also use mixed ground beef. The garlic, tomato paste and spices give the ground beef an additional flavor dimension. The cream cheese with herbs and the cream form the creamy base of the sauce. I recommend using a cream cheese with fresh herbs such as chives, parsley or dill to give the casserole a fresh note. The grated cheese provides the golden brown crust that makes the casserole so irresistible. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important not to cook the kohlrabi for too long, otherwise it will become too soft. The 5 minutes at 100°C are ideal to prepare it without it falling apart. Chopping the garlic in the Thermomix® is of course super practical, as you save yourself the hassle of chopping with a knife. When browning the ground beef, make sure it is cooked through before adding it to the casserole dish. The sauce in the Thermomix® is quick to prepare, but you can of course also stir it by hand. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the ground beef with lentils or soy granules. If you like it vegan, you can use vegan cream cheese and cream and omit the cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese alternative. Instead of nutmeg, you can also use other spices such as paprika or caraway. Serve the casserole warm or lukewarm. A fresh salad or a piece of bread goes well with it. If you like, you can sprinkle the casserole with fresh parsley. The casserole can be prepared well. You can layer it the day before and store it in the refrigerator. Before baking, it should then reach room temperature a little. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated the next day.
