Ground beef casserole and Brazilian pork meatball recipes

A ground‑beef casserole (escondidinho) is prepared by sautéing minced beef with onion, garlic, tomato sauce, paprika and herbs, then layering it with seasoned mashed potatoes and mozzarella before baking until golden.

A Brazilian pork meatball dish combines ground pork with cooked quinoa, egg, oat flour and herbs, formed into balls that are baked with quail eggs inside. The meatballs are served alongside butter‑tossed fusilli pasta topped with a parmesan‑farofa and fresh basil mixture.
