Serbian Ground Beef, Veggie, and Potato Bake image

My boyfriend lived in Serbia for 3 years and always begs me to recreate some of his favorite dishes. Based on his sketchy explanations and a little research into Eastern European spices, I concocted this hearty and slightly spicy bake with ground beef, paprika, and vegetables like celery and peppers. Great with a glass of red wine!

Tips:

  • Be sure to brown the meat well before adding it to the casserole. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality canned tomato sauce. A sauce with a rich flavor will help to enhance the taste of the casserole.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or skillet with a lid. Just be sure that the pot or skillet is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • Serve the casserole with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Serbian pork and beef casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
