Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make vermicelli casserole with minced meat in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I used spaghetti as noodles. You can use any type of vermicelli, but preferably not very small and thin. Any minced meat is also suitable, I used mixed (pork and beef).

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onions, wash them, cut them into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the pre-washed carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, fry the vegetables over medium heat until half cooked, stirring occasionally.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the minced meat in the pan, knead so that large lumps do not form. Fry the minced meat with vegetables over medium heat while stirring.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the minced meat changes color, add tomato paste, basil, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix everything well.

7. STEP 7

   

   Simmer the minced meat with vegetables over low heat for 5-7 minutes under the lid so that the spices and seasonings reveal their flavor. Remove the pan from the stove.

8. STEP 8

   

   While preparing the minced meat, cook the vermicelli. Pour 2 liters of water into a saucepan of suitable volume and bring to a boil. Salt the water, add the vermicelli, stir. Cook the vermicelli over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until partially cooked. Refer to the time indicated on the package. Don't overcook the vermicelli! Keep in mind that it will still be baking in the oven.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the finished vermicelli in a colander to drain.

10. STEP 10

    

    In a convenient container, mix the prepared vermicelli and minced meat with vegetables.

11. STEP 11

    

    Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, lay out the vermicelli with minced meat. I have a form measuring 27*17 cm.

12. STEP 12

    

    In a bowl, beat eggs with milk until smooth, add a little salt.

13. STEP 13

    

    Pour the egg-milk mixture over the vermicelli with minced meat. Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-25 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the height of the casserole and the operating characteristics of the oven.

14. STEP 14

    

    Grate the cheese on a medium grater.

15. STEP 15

    

    When the casserole has thickened enough, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle evenly with grated cheese on top.

16. STEP 16

    

    Bake the dish for about 5 minutes more until the cheese is completely melted.

17. STEP 17

    

    Cut the finished casserole into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

A stunningly delicious vermicelli casserole with minced meat in the oven! I had small vermicelli in the form of letters and numbers, I wanted to put it in some kind of dish. It cooks quickly, so I literally boiled it for five minutes and put it on a sieve. I had the meat in the form of pork, I ran it through a meat grinder. The meat component of the casserole turned out very tasty, I could have eaten it like that) The vegetables and meat were saturated with each other’s juices, it turned out juicy, aromatic and tasty. Then I combined the minced meat and vermicelli, poured it with a milk-egg mixture and baked it. I kept it in the oven for half an hour. Very good casserole, tender and filling! Most of all, the children liked it; they quickly ate it) All the ingredients go together perfectly. After cooling, the casserole is well cut into pieces. But it tastes best when served hot. I recommend this recipe!
