• Vegetable Oil
• 400 g Ground Meat

For the Sauce:

• 4 tablespoons Sour Cream
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• Salt and Black Pepper
• 1-2 Garlic Cloves

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the Base

Start by **peeling and grating** the potatoes and the carrot. This adds a delightful texture to the dish. In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes, carrots, and eggs. Stir in the flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and pepper until combined.

2. Cooking the Filling

In a skillet, heat a bit of **vegetable oil** over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions, garlic, and bell pepper until softened. Add the ground meat, mushrooms, and season with **Italian herbs**, salt, and pepper. Cook until everything is browned and fully cooked, about 10 minutes.

3. Combining the Mixtures

Once the filling is ready, mix it gently into the potato and egg base. Make sure it’s well incorporated but don’t overmix. Pour this mixture into a greased baking dish. Top it with slices of tomato and sprinkle cheese over the top for that gooey finish.

4. Baking to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the dish for around **30-35 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. While it bakes, you can prepare the sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing: Be gentle when mixing your ingredients to keep the texture light and fluffy.
• Skipping the Vegetables: Don’t skip the veggies! They add flavor and nutrients.
• Not Watching the Oven: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your dish to prevent burning.
