Baked Potato Moussaka Recipe
By the weekend, I wanted to share a slightly distracting recipe for those who prepare their meals on the weekend. The recipe is definitely not difficult, do not be afraid. It consists of only a few simple stages. When it comes to stage, you guess it takes some time. But be sure that it is worth more than the time you spend. You can definitely take it between the meals you make while hosting guests.
You can roast the minced meat a day beforehand. But it will be more delicious if you cook potatoes and carrots on the day you serve them. I think it is not very convenient to cook it beforehand as they will release itself as long as you wait. You can also grate the cheddar the day before. On the last day, it remains only to bake the vegetables and combine all the ingredients.
In the meantime, let me give you a tip. If you use too much cheddar in your meals, you can grate your cheddar in your spare time, put it in refrigerator bags, freeze it, take it out and use it directly when you need it. Although it seems like a simple process, it takes time, actually the grating process. Cleaning the splashes on the counter, washing the grater, etc. When you look at it, it goes 10 minutes. As you know, those 10 minutes are worth gold in emergency times.
You can make your moussaka in large (mine are 12 cm) soufflé pots, casseroles, any similar ovenware, or you can make it on a large tray and serve it by slicing. Since the sauce is not very juicy, it will be sliced without too much dispersion.
