Sometimes I change up the recipe and top this casserole with crumbled feta cheese. I like serving it with a simple Greek salad, pita bread, and a great red wine. Can also be made w/ ground lamb. Added 3/4 tsp allspice to recipe

Ingredients
3 pounds potato, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add one-third of potato slices to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Transfer potato to bowl. Repeat procedure with cooking spray and remaining potato slices.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°.

  3. Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add onion, garlic, and lamb to pan; cook 3 minutes or until lamb begins to brown. Add bell peppers, tomato sauce, salt, cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, and parsley; cook 10 minutes.

  4. Arrange half of potato slices in a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange lamb mixture over potatoes; top with remaining potato slices. Combine milk and eggs in a small bowl; pour over potato mixture. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until top is golden and set. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes before serving.
