Mashed Spinach Gratin Recipe with Minced Meat

Potatoes are boiled, peeled and mashed. A large pyrex is spread over the bottom of the container. Spinach is washed and coarsely chopped. The minced meat is taken to the stove with olive oil and lightly roasted. Then add chopped onions. After the onions are slightly browned, half a spoonful of pepper paste is added. Then the spinach is added. Do not add salt at first, both the spinach is very watery and the spinach does not like too much salt. After the spinach has softened a little, turn off the stove without losing its green color and add salt. You can also add a teaspoon of black pepper.
For the bechamel sauce, butter is added to the pan and taken to the stove. After adding flour and roasting a little, milk is added and mixed continuously until it reaches the consistency of pudding. A pinch of salt is added. Finally, two-thirds of the bechamel is poured into the spinach mixture and mixed, then spread over the mashed potatoes in my pyrex. The remaining bechamel is also spread over the top. After sprinkling grated cheddar on it, it is baked in the oven at 200 degrees until the top is golden brown. Enjoy your meal.
