Beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin is made by layering potatoes, cooked ground beef and béchamel, then baking it with cheese on top. Slice the potatoes evenly, brown the beef first, and bake until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden.
Beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin uses potatoes, ground beef, béchamel sauce and grated cheese. Onion and seasonings such as black pepper make a flavorful beef layer; the sauce is typically made with butter, flour and milk.
Bake beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin at about 180°C (350°F) for roughly 30–40 minutes. The timing varies with the potato slices and whether they were precooked; check that the potatoes are tender and the cheese topping is browned.
Partly cooking the potatoes is helpful if they are cut thick, because it makes them more likely to become tender at the same time as the topping browns. Thin slices can go in uncooked, but allow enough oven time for them to cook through.
To keep beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin from turning watery, brown the beef until its released liquid has evaporated and drain the potatoes well. Make the béchamel thick rather than runny, since excess moisture can collect at the bottom as it bakes.
A good melting cheese that browns well works best on beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin. Grated cheddar is a familiar option in English-language recipes; add it over the béchamel before baking, or near the end if you prefer a lighter browned topping.
Yes, you can assemble beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin ahead and refrigerate it covered before baking. Let the dish lose some of its chill before it goes into the oven, and allow extra baking time if it is still cold.
Yes, beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin can be frozen after it has been cooked and cooled. Freeze it in airtight portions, then thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat until hot throughout; the béchamel may become slightly less smooth.
Beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when covered and chilled promptly after cooking. Store leftovers in a sealed container, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Serve beef, potato, béchamel and cheese gratin with a crisp green salad or simply cooked vegetables. Its creamy sauce and potato layers make it a filling main dish, so a fresh, tangy side balances the meal better than another rich accompaniment.

Beef, Potato, Béchamel and Cheese Gratin is an oven-baked casserole of potatoes and seasoned ground beef, covered with béchamel and cheese until the top is golden. It fits the wider tradition of comforting layered gratins, while this combination is also familiar as home-style cooking in Turkey, where kaşar is often used for the cheesy topping.
Serve it hot, when the potatoes are tender and the sauce creamy, with a crisp salad or simply cooked vegetables to balance its richness. It makes a filling family lunch or dinner rather than a light side dish: meat and dairy contribute protein, while potatoes and béchamel make it substantial. For a lighter serving, use a thinner layer of sauce and cheese and pair it with plenty of greens.
