Musaka

Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped summer savory (chubritsa)
1 cup water, or as needed
⅔ cup yogurt
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef in hot oil until crumbly and evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Stir in potatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and summer savory. Pour in enough water to just barely cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Pour meat mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Mix together yogurt and beaten egg in a small bowl; spread over meat mixture to cover.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
