💫MOM’S KAFTA & POTATO BAKE. There’s something extra special about sharing a recipe that comes from Mom.

This is my mom’s Kafta & Potato Bake with simple ingredients & warm spices!

For the kafta:

* 1½ lbs ground beef
* 1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
* Fresh parsley, finely chopped
* 2 tsp allspice
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* ½ tsp salt
* ½ tsp black pepper

For the vegetables:

* 3–4 yellow potatoes, very thinly sliced
* 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
* ½ onion, thinly sliced
* Olive oil
* Additional salt & pepper, to taste

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Combine the ground beef, parsley, onion soup mix, allspice, cinnamon, salt and pepper until everything is well incorporated.

Spread the seasoned beef evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.

Layer the thinly sliced potatoes over the meat, followed by the tomatoes and onions.

Season the vegetables with a little additional salt and pepper and finish with a generous drizzle of olive oil.

Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for another 15 minutes, allowing everything to develop that beautiful golden colour.

For the perfect finish, turn the oven to broil for the final 5 minutes, watching closely, until the potatoes and vegetables are beautifully browned on top.

Mom’s recipe. ❤️

Save this one for a cozy family dinner!
