09 - Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon

10 - Salt - to taste

11 - Pepper - to taste

12 - Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

13 - Paprika - 1 teaspoon

→ Toppings

14 - Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) - 200 g

15 - Fresh parsley - for garnish (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 180°C so it heats up. Grease a casserole dish lightly with olive oil so the food doesn’t stick later.

02 - Warm up the olive oil in a big pan. Toss in the onion and garlic, cooking till they turn see-through. Brown the ground meat next. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano for flavor. Mix in the bell peppers and mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.

03 - Pour in the canned tomatoes and broth. Stir it up and let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, so the flavors merge and the sauce thickens.

04 - Cut the potatoes into really thin slices, around 2 mm thick, so they cook evenly.

05 - Start layering the potato slices at the bottom of the casserole dish. Pour half of the veggies and meat mix on top. Layer again and finish with a neat top layer of potatoes.

06 - Sprinkle a lot of grated cheese on top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

07 - Take the foil off and bake for another 15 minutes. Wait until the cheese melts into a golden crust and the potatoes are perfectly soft.

08 - Let it cool down just a bit before serving. Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top if you’d like. Serve it nice and warm.

# Notes:
