SPICY AU GRATIN BEEF BAKE
I had some boxed Au Gratin potatoes and some ground beef and really didn't know what to do with it,so I started to look through a lot of recipes. ( and I mean a lot :) ) And then got an idea from one of those "TOH" Ground Beef grocery store cookbooks.So I changed a few things around, such as seasonings and the way it was prepared.If you want you can change the amounts of the seasonings to suit your own personal tastes.Last but not least, I want to thank Chef#59686 and Chef#101376 for coming up with the name for this recipe :) .Submitted to "ZAAR" on October 16th,2008

MEAT AND POTATO SKILLET GRATIN
This hearty, wintry dish is a cross between a shepherd's pie and potato gratin. It's got a layer of browned ground beef spiked with onions, sage and spinach on the bottom, with a luscious, cheese- and cream-slathered root vegetable topping that turns golden and crisp-edged in the oven. If you aren't a rutabaga fan, you can use all potatoes, or a combination of white and sweet potatoes. This gratin reheats very well, so feel free to make it ahead and reheat it uncovered in a 350-degree oven. And although it qualifies as a one-pan meal (with meat, green vegetable and starch altogether), a fresh and tangy green salad on the side would round things out nicely.

Steps:
- Crush and peel 2 garlic cloves. In a small pot over medium heat, combine cream, the crushed garlic, the thyme and 1/2 tablespoon sage. Bring to a simmer; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain and cool.
- While cream cools, heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add half the beef and brown well, crumbling with a fork as it cooks. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; transfer meat to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining meat, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
- Add onion to pan drippings (drizzle with oil if pan seems dry). Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Peel and chop remaining 2 garlic cloves; add to pan with remaining sage. Return meat to skillet. Toss in spinach, a handful at a time, until wilted. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the Worcestershire and pepper to taste.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Peel rutabaga and cut in half. Slice each half crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Layer half the rutabaga and potato slices over meat, alternating between rutabaga and potato, with slices overlapping one another. Season lightly with salt and pepper; top with half the cheese. Repeat with remaining vegetables and cheese. Spoon reduced cream evenly over top.
- Cover pan tightly with foil and bake until vegetables are very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Uncover and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, round roast, and sirloin tip roast are all good choices for this dish. Look for a roast that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Brown the beef before baking. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions.
- Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce is what will really bring the dish together, so make sure it is well-seasoned. You can use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the sauce, such as garlic, onion, thyme, and rosemary.
- Cook the casserole until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. This will usually take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Serve the casserole hot with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
Au gratin beef bake is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its tender beef, flavorful sauce, and cheesy topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
