Baeckeoff is a traditional Alsatian dish that is similar to a French cassoulet. It is a hearty one-dish meal that features layers of tender meat, vegetables, and sliced potatoes, all cooked together in a casserole dish. This recipe calls for lamb, beef, and pork, but you can use any combination of meats that you like. The dish is seasoned with thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and white wine, which give it a rich and savory flavor. Baeckeoff is perfect for feeding a crowd on a cold evening, and it pairs well with a glass of dry white wine or a dark beer.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.Place the lamb, beef, and pork in a large bowl, and add the chopped onion, leeks, and carrots. Mix well and season with thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Add the minced garlic and dry white wine, and mix again.
3.In a large casserole dish, layer the sliced potatoes, alternating with the meat and vegetable mixture, until all ingredients are used. Top with a final layer of potatoes.
4.Mix flour and water until you get a runny paste, and pour it over the top layer of potatoes, making sure to cover the entire surface.
5.Bake in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and crispy.
