A hearty and flavorful dish combining seasoned ground beef and creamy potatoes, topped with a cheesy crust.
Peel and slice the potatoes into even rounds.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Boil the potato slices in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the potatoes to maintain their shape.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy topping.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet, seasoning with thyme, oregano, minced garlic, and salt.
Break up the beef into small pieces for even cooking.
Add diced onion and chopped bell pepper to the skillet, cooking until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
This step enhances the flavor by caramelizing the tomato paste.
Layer half of the potato slices in a baking dish, followed by the beef mixture, the remaining potatoes, yogurt, and shredded cheese.
Press down gently to compact the layers for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving.
Cooling allows the layers to set for easier serving.
