Preparation
Prepare
Step 1:
Place the potatoes in a pan of boiling water and cook for about 14 minutes until tender.
Step 2:
Chop the garlic and red pepper and fry in a pan. Add the bacon and fry for a few minutes on high heat until slightly crispy.
Tip:
For kids, omit the red pepper. Want it a bit spicier? Then add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mince mixture.
Step 3:
Then add the minced meat and fry until loose. Dice the pepper and fry briefly. Season the minced meat mixture with a pinch of salt, pepper and paprika. Stir in the tomato puree and add about 50 ml of water and let the mixture simmer for a while.
Tip:
For a veggie version, use vegetarian minced meat or tofu cubes.
Step 4:
Heat the oven to 220°C (or the grill setting).
Step 5:
Drain the potatoes and mash with a masher. Pour in the milk and add the butter. Then spoon in the endive and heat for a while so that it shrinks slightly. If necessary, add a little extra milk to make it smoother. Season the stew with a little salt and pepper.
Step 6:
Put the mince mixture in a baking dish and divide evenly. Spoon the stew on top and smooth with a spoon.
Step 7:
Sprinkle with cheese and put the stew casserole in the oven for about 15 minutes until the cheese is nicely melted, or use the grill setting for a few minutes for a nice crispy crust.
Tip:
This dish is also ideal for reheating or preparing in advance.
