Cheesy BEEF and Potato Bake: The Ultimate Comfort Food

This dish is a deliciously layered casserole that combines the rich flavours of roasted potatoes, savoury minced beef, and melted cheese. The thick potato slices are oven-roasted to a golden crisp, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite. On top of this crispy potato base lies a hearty layer of minced beef, cooked with onions, garlic, and spices, creating a flavorful and comforting filling. The final touch is a generous topping of melted mozzarella and cheddar, which forms a bubbly, golden crust that ties everything together. It's a warm, cheesy, and satisfying meal perfect for family dinners or cosy nights.

Looks so delicious. I love Potatoes. The golden ones are my favorite

[rastaralph]

It would be good with that corned beef you made instead of the mince also 👌💯👍💚💛❤️

[harmoniefaerielove]

A real rainy day, tummy warmer ...😋😋..

[AZ-Sharon]

Oh my, this is a recipe that I just did last week and posted on your Backyard Chef Facebook page. The difference is that I did a one pot meal, chucked in my cubed potatoes into my ground beef mixture with some chicken bouillon and let the potatoes cook all together. I like your bake first, get the potatoes Brown, and layer in baking dish. Such a great idea!😎

[clarkbrady]

That looks delicious. I'm going to make it for Sunday supper.

[jennyt]

Wow. That looks delicious. I can't wait to try this. Thanks, Rik.
