Favorite Jager-Eintopf (Hunter's Stew)

Directions

In a frypan sauté onions and mushrooms in vegetable oil until soft. Add ground beef; sauté mixture 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in broth; bring to a simmer. Add ½ teaspoon nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and put through a food mill or grinder. Beat in 2 tablespoons butter, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Beat in eggs and remaining nutmeg.

Peel, core, and slice apples. Layer mixtures in a 1½-quart buttered baking dish . Spread ⅓ of potatoes on bottom of dish. Top with ½ of the meat mixture and ½ of the apples. Continue with layers, ending with a layer of potatoes. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs, and dot with remaining butter.

Bake at 375℉ (190℃). for 45 minutes and then at 400℉ (200℃). for 10 minutes more.

Note:

Ground beef should only be ground once and be the leanest you can get.
