Ingredients
- 650 gram Potatoes
- 400 gram Broccoli
- 350 gram Minced meat mix or beef
- 1 piece Onion

- 1 piece Tomato
- 250 milliliters Cream
- 50 gram Soft cheese

Instructions
- Put the potatoes to boil. At this time, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry minced meat well on it (I had beef, but you can use any other). Add onion, chopped into small cubes, and tomato paste to the minced meat.
- Add broth or water, simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes, add salt and season with oregano.
- Broccoli is divided into inflorescences (frozen stock can be used) and blanched in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes.
- Cut the tomato into slices.
- Mash the boiled, strained potatoes, add butter, warm milk, puree and set aside 2-3 tablespoons.
- Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil and put 2/3 layers of minced meat. On the sides are broccoli inflorescences.
- Put slices of tomatoes on the minced meat, and a layer of mashed potatoes on top.
- Put another 1/3 of the minced meat on top. From the delayed mashed potatoes, make balls the size of a walnut and put them in the center.
- Preheat the cream and add cream and hard cheeses, let them melt.
- Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and herbs.
- Pour this sauce over the casserole with moussaka.
- Bake in a preheated 200 * c oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Enjoy your meal!
