Potato casserole with minced meat and tomatoes
Description
Perfect as a side dish for tea and coffee. To properly bake the casserole, simply layer ingredients evenly so everything cooks thoroughly. Potatoes are usually placed as the first layer. On top goes the minced meat, meat, or mushrooms. The top layer is usually the juiciest one, allowing its juices to drip down and moisten the lower layers. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 4
After 50 minutes, remove the tray. Sprinkle the tomato layer with grated cheese and return it to the oven for 10-15 minutes. When the cheese melts and becomes bubbly, it's ready to take out. Everything is done—serve the casserole in its own juice!
