potato bake

This looks amazing as a side dish, 

But adding just 1lb fried ground beef

To the veggie layer would make it

A great main dish!!!!!

Peel, slice and rinse 4 to 6 potatoes

Set aside.

In a food processor:

1 pepper (any colour)

4 cubes of frozen spinach (par thawed)

2 tsp garlic

2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1\2 tsp chili powder

Dump in large bowl

Then mix in:

1 can diced tomato

1 can black beans (rinsed)

1 cup celery and onion (total)

1 cup sliced mushrooms

Add 1lb of cooked and drained 

ground beef now if desired.

Now drain liked potatoes and pat dry.

In a well greased loaf pan:

***I found this recipe made 3 loaf pans!! 

So I froze one for later 

and gave one as a sample

Lay potato slices on the bottom

Now you can build:

Potato

Mixture

Cheese

Potato

Mixture

Cheese

Potato

***Most loaf pans will allow for 3 sets of layers.

Cover with foil.

Bake at 350 for 90 minutes. 

It will take the full 90 minutes 

to soften the potatoes!

Remove foil top and brown cheese top 

For 10 minutes.

Let sit and settle for 10 minutes

Then serve.

"Bon appetit!"
