A couple of weeks ago my daughter and I made a 24 hour round trip to Houston to deliver some furniture. Arriving back at the house, no groceries had been purchased and I wasn't at all sure what to do for dinner. So this is what happened:
First, a quick survey of the fridge and pantry: 1/2 pound ground beef (grass fed of course), 1/2 sweet potato, 2 eggs, 1/2 onion, Kerrygold white cheddar, garlic, 1 can tomato sauce, various spices.
Peel and sliced the sweet potato and cut into thin rounds. Fry the rounds in a little coconut oil until soft - I used a skillet that could go into the oven 'cause that is what is going to happen eventually.
In a small bowl beat the 2 eggs.
Remove the potato rounds and cook the ground meat with some chopped onion and a smashed clove of garlic (or 2). Sprinkle a layer of cumin on the meat and a "double" layer of chili powder (more chili powder than cumin). Stir in the can of tomato sauce. Add a little salt.
Remove the meat from the skillet and start over with the potato slices. Place a layer on the bottom of the skillet. Cover with 1/2 of the meat. Don't wig out on me here - carefully pour the beaten eggs on top of the meat. Slice a little of the cheese (just enough to taste) and put a few slices on top. Another layer of potatoes, the rest of the meat, a little cheese. Pop it in to the oven for 30 minutes at 350.
I should have taken a picture. It was really good! The beaten eggs look a lot like ricotta cheese - and do not taste like eggs at all. Just a pretty layer!
Please let me know what you think. I will take a picture next time!
yummy!
