This Deluxe Potato Beef Roll is a hearty and flavorful dish that combines seasoned ground beef, creamy mashed potatoes, and a rich, savory filling, all rolled together and baked to perfection. It’s a comforting meal that will impress your family or guests!

Ingredients:

For the Potato Layer:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk (more as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

For the Beef Filling:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste or 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (optional, for moisture)

For Assembling:

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (for sealing and brushing)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for a crispy top)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Layer

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheddar cheese for extra creaminess (optional). Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Beef Filling

  1. Sauté the Beef and Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and bell peppers, cooking until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Season and Simmer: Stir in the smoked paprika, oregano, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the tomato paste (or sauce), Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth if needed for moisture. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Potato Beef Roll

  1. Create the Potato Layer: On a large piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, spread the mashed potatoes into a rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick.
  2. Add the Beef Filling: Evenly spread the cooled beef filling over the mashed potato layer, leaving about an inch around the edges.
  3. Roll It Up: Using the parchment paper or plastic wrap to help, carefully roll the potato and beef mixture into a log shape, similar to a jelly roll. Seal the ends and place the roll seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  4. Brush with Egg: Lightly brush the top of the roll with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top if you’d like a crunchy crust.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake the Roll: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the potato beef roll for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
  2. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, then slice into rounds and serve with your favorite side dish, like a green salad or roasted vegetables.

Tips:

  • Customization: You can add other vegetables like peas, carrots, or spinach to the beef filling for added nutrition.
  • Cheese Filling: For a cheesier option, mix shredded mozzarella or cheddar directly into the beef filling before rolling.
  • Gravy Option: Serve with a side of gravy or a creamy sauce to make it even more indulgent.

Enjoy this comforting and satisfying Deluxe Potato Beef Roll with family and friends!
