Method

1
Brown the minced beef in a pan in the Oivariini. Add the grated carrot and heat while stirring. Add the seasonings (if using Mustapekka cream, omit the pepper blend), crushed tomatoes, and water. Let simmer for 1 - 2 min. Add the cooking cream.
2
Pour the potato and onion mix into a spacious, shallow (inner dimensions approx. 23 x 30 cm) baking dish. Stir in the minced beef mixture and drained salad cheese cubes.
3
Bake in the lower/middle part of the oven at 225 degrees for approx. 1 h or until the potatoes are cooked (check the cooking time on the potato bag). Cover the dish with baking paper if the surface browns too much.
4
Serve with a fresh salad.
5
To make a vegetarian version of this dish, swap the minced beef for Valio Mifu® Original cooking crumbs: Instead of minced beef, lightly fry the Mifu and coarsely grated carrot in a pan. Reduce the amount of salt to 1/2 tsp. Otherwise, prepare according to the instructions.
