Escarole casserole

This delicious escarole casserole is easy to prepare. Creamy escarole with cheese flavor. A nice layer of sweet minced beef topped with sliced roast potatoes. Sprinkled with some bacon topping and more cheese. A delicious combination.

Escarole is in season. We often eat it as a raw escarole stew. Nice of course, but when I was surfing across the internet I was inspired to make a casserole. Of course I had to try it out (and adapt it to my own taste).

Three different layers

The casserole was delicious. A nice layer of creamy escarole with cheese flavor, the second layer sweet minced meat topped with sliced potatoes. On top bacon and even more, cheese were sprinkled. A delicious combination that we will definitely eat more often!

• You boil the potatoes just for 10 minutes, so they are half done. This is important because in the oven they will cook further. But by giving them a head start they get a crispy crust and a soft inside.
• When you've limited time, you can prepare this day the day before dinner. That way you'll just have to bake it in the oven.
• Because you add bacon to the casserole, you don't have to add extra salt while cooking potatoes.
• Substitute the meatloaf with vegetarian meatloaf and the bacon with sun-dried tomato slices if you want to prepare a vegetarian dish.
• Substitute the escarole with kale, for another delicious casserole version.

• Prepare the casserole but don't bake it in the oven yet. Cover it with foil and store it for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
• Don't freeze this casserole. The structure will change and that's not very delicious.
