Steps

1 hour

1

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions until soft, then add the ground beef and spices. Cook, stirring, until the beef changes color.
2

Add the bell peppers and carrots. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, then set aside.
3

Mash the boiled potatoes with the powdered milk, butter, white pepper, nutmeg, and cheese until smooth and creamy.
4

Grease a large baking dish with cornstarch or breadcrumbs. Spread a thin layer of the mashed potatoes in the dish, wetting your hands with water to help spread it evenly.
5

Add the beef and vegetable filling, then cover with the remaining mashed potatoes. Smooth the top, wetting your hands with water if needed.
6

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes on the lower rack, then broil until the cheese is golden brown.
