Potatoes and Ground beef! It's so delicious that you want to cook it over and over again!

Get ready for a mouthwatering adventure with this scrumptious dish-it's like a magical blend of shepherd's pie and potato gratin! Picture this: a savory base of browned ground beef jazzed up with onions, sage, mushrooms, and spinach. On top, a heavenly layer of potatoes, drenched in a cheesy, creamy goodness that crisps up to golden perfection in the oven. Now, here's the fun part: this dish is your canvas! Not a fan of spinach? Skip it and toss in your favorite cheeses, veggies, or whatever tickles your taste buds. The customization options are endless! This gratin reheats very well, so feel free to make it ahead and reheat it uncovered in a 350F oven. Try this easy and very delicious dish and let me know how do you like it. 🥰😋😍😘 Much love to all of you and thank you so much for watching, all your love and support! It means a lot! 🤗❤️😘

I made this using 1.25 lbs of skirt steak diced fine, as for a stir-fry. And golden potatoes, cleaned but skin-on. Seriously delicious!

[@EssenRecipes]

Thank you for your feedback, Jim!! Happy you loved it!! 🤩

[@jonnyfrench19]

Always leave the skin on clean potatoes: a lot of nutrition be in them skins!

I am a widower and my wife passed and I don't cook very well but this dish is right up my alley. I am going to have it tonight for dinner. Thanks.

[@lisalaurentz1551]

I'm a widow myself. I make a one skillet dinner often. Very easy. Boneless chicken breast works great. Pork chop too. Just start the meat with light seasoning. Drizzle olive oil and add small chopped potatoe. Put a lid on it. Low heat. Half way through add handful of your favorite frozen veggies. Put the back on and cook on low heat until done! No leftovers and easy clean up too. I hope this was helpful. I've been widow for almost 20 years now. I hope you are doing ok today! 😊❤

Similar to Cobbler or Hotpot from here in UK, and similarly deliciious I am sure. I would just think of adding some diced carrots as an extra flavour, and maybe a little wine or beef stock?

WRONG!! I'm no professional and I've been cooking meals like this for over 60 years. Cooking from scratch is so much more healthy and delicious than the junk meals in the freezer section at the grocery store. Cooking is not a rocket science. Once you learn a few basics cooking from scratch is easy and very satisfying.
