BOIL POTATOES & MEATBALLS AND CHEESE AND BAKE
Ingredients:
THE DISH: BECHAMEL SAUCE:
3 potatoes, peeled and boiled 5 tablespoons of butter
1 white onion, 1 lb of ground beef 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of chopped parsley 4 cups of milk
1 pinch of paprika 2 teaspoons of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 large bag of shredded mozzarella
salt & pepper

Directions
Before anything else, we’re going to make a basic béchamel sauce for use later in the recipe! First, get a medium
saucepan and melt your butter over medium-low heat. Add in flour and stir it all up until it gets smooth. Keep
cooking your mixture until it all turns a light golden color, for about six or seven minutes.
In the meantime, heat your milk in a separate pan until it’s almost at a boil. Once it’s hot enough, gradually add your
hot milk one cup at a time to the butter, continually whisking the entire time until it’s smooth. Once all the milk is
incorporated, bring the whole thing to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring it constantly. Season it at the end with
salt and nutmeg and you’re good to go!
Now that your sauce is ready, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Next, get a big bowl
and throw in your package of beef along with your chopped parsley and paprika. Add a
little bit of salt and pepper as well. Once all the ingredients are together, mix together
all the ingredients until they’re evenly combined.
Next, peel three potatoes and boil them until they’re semi-soft, around seven minutes.
Once they’re ready, take them out and chop them into slices, arranging them around
SUBMIT YOUR the bottom of a round glass baking dish. Lay one layer flat on the bottom and arrange
another layer around the sides as well.
After that, get your meat mixture and work it into ice cream scoop-sized meatballs—
FAVORITE RECIPE the entire thing should form about 15 meatballs. Next, arrange them on your slices of
potato that you laid out earlier.
newsonseven@gmail.com Once you’ve got your meatballs placed together, use your remaining slices of potato to
put walls between the meatballs so each one has its own compartment. Pour your
béchamel sauce into each one of the “compartments” until it’s relatively full and top the
entire thing with a thin layer of shredded mozzarella.
Finally, throw the entire dish in your preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once it’s done,
you’ll have a deliciously cheesy and creamy French casserole-style dish that the whole
family will love!
