Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 medium Potatoes, thinly sliced
- 3 medium Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 large Zucchini, thinly sliced
- 400 ml Tomato sauce
- 200 g Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 200 ml Milk
- 50 g Butter
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir in the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly pour the milk into the roux while whisking, forming a smooth sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened, then remove from heat and set aside.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Start layering the ingredients: Place a single layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add a layer of the cooked ground beef mixture, followed by a layer of thinly sliced carrots, then zucchini. Repeat until all ingredients are used, aiming for 9 layers.
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the top layer, followed by the white sauce you prepared earlier.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
