Plantain And Meat Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large pot, bring several quarts of water to a boil, then drop the peeled plantains into the boiling water, reduce heat at least to medium-low & cook for about 15 minutes, or until quite tender.
• Drain the plantains, then first chop them up & put them in a large bowl before mashing them somewhat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk & peanut butter, then add the onion & celery. Season to taste with a bit of salt.
• Add this mixture to the plantains, stirring to mix thoroughly.
• Pour the plantain mixture into a medium-size casserole dish, then sprinkle the top with the breadcrumbs.
• Bake for about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Bake the bake bananas (plantains) for about 25 minutes. Let them cool and peel.
• Mash the bananas (plantains) and add the eggs, ground cinnamon, coconut milk, ½ cup melted butter and sugar.
• Pour into a casserole dish.
• In a medium bowl mix all the topping ingredients, until well combined.
• Sprinkle over the banana (plantain) mixture and bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the oil in a large skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. A minute later, add the meat and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring to break up lumps, until it loses its color, just a couple of minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until quite soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, and tomatoes and some more salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is saucy, 15 to 20 minutes. (This is a good time to sauté the plantains if you have not already done so.)
• Return the beef to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes; taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Use about a third of the sauce to make a thin layer at the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch square casserole or similar-size dish. Top with a layer of plantains, then more sauce, then the remaining plantains, then finally the remaining sauce. Pour the eggs over all if you like. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until heated through, then serve hot or at room temperature or cover and refrigerate overnight before covering with foil and reheating in a 250°F oven.
