RECIPE OVERVIEW
This is a really great and tasty midweek meal which can be prepared with little or no fuss. The beauty of the dish is to cook two and then freeze one for a later date.

- Place the beef gratin onto a flat baking tray and pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes until it is bubbling hot.

I made this recipe but used turkey mince instead and for the topping I used seeded brown bread... It went down very well and I've made it 3 or 4 times since as my teenagers and four year old love it!
Easy to make and very tasty... Definitely worth the effort...😘😍 -
Just made Mediterranean beef and it was extremely tasty and easy to make. I left out thyme leaves and courgettes only because I didn't have any. I followed the recipe for 2 people and it would feed at least 4.
