Potatoes and Ground beef! It's so delicious that you want to cook it over and over again!
Get ready for a mouthwatering adventure with this scrumptious dish-it's like a magical blend of shepherd's pie and potato gratin! Picture this: a savory base of browned ground beef jazzed up with onions, sage, mushrooms, and spinach. On top, a heavenly layer of potatoes, drenched in a cheesy, creamy goodness that crisps up to golden perfection in the oven. Now, here's the fun part: this dish is your canvas! Not a fan of spinach? Skip it and toss in your favorite cheeses, veggies, or whatever tickles your taste buds. The customization options are endless! This gratin reheats very well, so feel free to make it ahead and reheat it uncovered in a 350F oven. Try this easy and very delicious dish and let me know how do you like it. 🥰😋😍😘 Much love to all of you and thank you so much for watching, all your love and support! It means a lot! 🤗❤️😘

I made this using 1.25 lbs of skirt steak diced fine, as for a stir-fry. And golden potatoes, cleaned but skin-on. Seriously delicious!
Thank you for your feedback, Jim!! Happy you loved it!! 🤩
Always leave the skin on clean potatoes: a lot of nutrition be in them skins!
I am a widower and my wife passed and I don't cook very well but this dish is right up my alley. I am going to have it tonight for dinner. Thanks.
I'm a widow myself. I make a one skillet dinner often. Very easy. Boneless chicken breast works great. Pork chop too. Just start the meat with light seasoning. Drizzle olive oil and add small chopped potatoe. Put a lid on it. Low heat. Half way through add handful of your favorite frozen veggies. Put the back on and cook on low heat until done! No leftovers and easy clean up too. I hope this was helpful. I've been widow for almost 20 years now. I hope you are doing ok today! 😊❤
How was it?
Sorry for your loss
@@Walker_Bulldog Yes, please.
Im sorry for your loss too. Remember , she's with you right now and always .
Nice to watch someone cooking without feeling like I'm at a sporting event; very relaxing...
That piano music in the background was creepy. Like entering a funeral home
@@nunyadamnbizness9600If this music is enough to creep you out, then I’m really curious about the life you’ve lived
This was my dad's favorite dish to make! He made this for everyone once a week. I grew up with this meal. Even my mom would back off and let him go, Brings back warm memories. Thanks!
It's very refreshing to see a simple /classic dish that hasn't been modified to include 40x ingredients and 3xhours to prep. This looks amazing 😍
My supper for tomorrow
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback😄💛😋
Can you smell what I the Rock is cooking you bc I'm a pg the r eat people 4:38
@@BobbijoWhiteHouse-rl9el I'm so confused. Are you Okay?
Similar to Cobbler or Hotpot from here in UK, and similarly deliciious I am sure. I would just think of adding some diced carrots as an extra flavour, and maybe a little wine or beef stock?
As a Mexican American Chicano, I grew up eating ground beef and potatoes, and many other low cost delicious foods.
😢
You should be thankful you grew up in America and can call yourself whatever you want.
@@velvet1746😅
@@nunzionapoli6325Are you thankful?
Thanks for saying💐!
Thank you Sophie for making dishes that we can actually cook ❤
I have been using this recipe for years. My grandmother used to feed us like that. We were a family of 13 very satisfying.❤
Wow big size family
Coming home after a hard days work to a meal like this is a taste of Heaven! Thank You so much!
Hi Tony and Huge Thank You as always! Sending you my best wishes💛
That is so sweet and simple and true!!
This lady communicates joy in what she does.
You had me at lard and cast iron pan ❤️
I'm glad I was not drinking my seltzer water when I read your comment because I would have spat it out I lol'd so much at your comment.
Same but coffee as I plan dinner for tonight!!
What is wrong with that?
I grew up eating this. My grandmother use to cook this all the time. I'm 44 and still love making it.

Mother did all the time also
Nutritious. Potatoes and beef with cheese. Cool
I made this today but used ground chicken because that's all I had and it is so so delicious. I made Lebanese rice alongside it and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing💖 So happy you enjoyed it😄😋 Hugs🤗
So, you made a completely different dish, not the o e in the video.
Another easy & delicious meal to fix!! Thanks, Sophie, for sharing.
This is comfort food well done for my taste.
I have to make this, anything with sage!.
I made this today. I made small changes by using ground turkey instead of beef, adding one additional garlic clove, and a pinch of nutmeg when I added the spinach. Absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback😄💛 Those were yummy substitutes and additions👍
Been making this for years with mushroom soup added to it!
This is very relaxing
I hope it relaxes maybe on Christmas and Thanksgiving
Sounds yummy I will make this recipe❤
So glad you’ll be giving this recipe a try😄😋Thank you💛
It looks delicious!

How I love the excitement she gives off with her skip to the other side of the kitchen. She’s Marvelous
Now that what I call home cooking. Old school style. My mom used to make this absolutely delicious. Miss Mom.
I need that spoon!😊
Just ate dinner. Now I'm hungry again.

Many thanks Mike! Always happy to receive feedback from you😄😊 Sending you best wishes to Barcelona💛
This is how professional's cook, ❤
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback😄💛🙏🏻
WRONG!! I'm no professional and I've been cooking meals like this for over 60 years. Cooking from scratch is so much more healthy and delicious than the junk meals in the freezer section at the grocery store. Cooking is not a rocket science. Once you learn a few basics cooking from scratch is easy and very satisfying.
😋 ... Yummy, yummy.
Hmmm yummy 🤤. Roast beef cheese potatoes. I will ask once again to add this for breakfast.
So happy you like it! As always thank you so much💖🤗
I Like This I'm Gonna Try This Myself Great Coocking Thasnks For The Idea 😇🥰
Tried this recipe tonight. Husband loved it. Thank you. 😊
The way you bounce from cutting board to skillet is mesmerizing
I love the way she dances in the kitchen! 😍
What I wonder, is if she uses that same cutting board for meat and vegetables.
As it seems, I love this beautiful concoction. Thank you for the recipe.😊❤
Thank you Sophie delicious recipe; have a good weekend and love, hugz and blessings 😊😊 to you and the family. 😊
Hi Lucero😄💖🥰🤩 Thank you so much😘 Sending you lots of love, hugs and blessings too🤗

Being Hispanic and growing up in New Mexico, we ate this often, and is still my favorite meal to this day, but with out all the extra stuff in this video. All you need is your meat,papas and green chile and a tortilla.
Going to try. To day is my shopping day. ❤
I love just watching how at ease you are making this dish with all the beautiful utensils and cookware. It was so relaxing to watch. You sure have a way with the knife and your cutting skills are so perfect. I will make this, thank you.

Hated this growing up, but my dad loved this dish. Now that my dad passed I loved this. Awesome video A+
I can't wait to try this delicious recipe. Thank you. You make everything seem so easy. I usually have a hard time with the recipe measure conversions as we in America are so used to using the good old measuring cups and spoons. Most of us older people don't have a scale to use the metric system. I will share your recipes. Thank you from Florida, USA
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback😄💖🙏🏻 I appreciate you sharing my recipes too! Sending you hugs to Florida🤗
I grew up eating a version of this with green chili, Mmmmmm

Made this for my husband and myself today. Absolutely delicious! The only thing I did differently is I used ground turkey. My husband cannot eat red meat. But we loved it, thank you.

My dad passed away last June. He would make this quite often when he could.
This dish brings back memories! It’s a favorite hot dish we used to eat when I was little. It was always a little different depending on whether or not we had mushrooms or garlic bulbs on hand. I like spinach, but nobody else did, so if we had it, it would be put on one end so I could have some “with”. We used all kinds of cheeses and spices, again just based on what we had. You just can’t do to much to mess up a dish like this! Because we used milk in many things, we would run out, and use canned evaporated milk when we had to. Everybody loves this dish still!!! Thanks for showing this to those who maybe didn’t cook much at home before. It’s easy and yummy!
I put everything in the pan in the beginning skip the oven yum yum !
Ima make this for my family sadly have to remove the mushrooms i love them but my father is allergic. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe
It’s very nice of you to make it for your family😋 Sorry to hear that your father is allergic to mushrooms. Thanks so much for sharing your feedback💛
brilliant again our family ❤ur recipes so simple so tasty thank you from Yorkshire England 🇬🇧 ❤
So inspiring to hear that! Thank you too❤️ Sending greetings to you and your family to Yorkshire England😄😘
Oh yeah, there's nothing better and tastier than "MEAT AND TATERS." Plus being easy to cook up anytime at a moments notice. Just don't forget to add the Garlic and Onions, & Salt & Pepper, that's essential.
That Is Heavenly !!!!!!
Oh I forgot, if you don't have any Lard, pick some up at the Market, or Save your Bacon Drippings in a container, and use that for starters to cook the meat. It gives the dish a Wonderful flavor !!!!!
Love this. Sydney, Australia
Thank you so much! Sending you greetings to Sydney Australia😄🤩💛
