Peasant Casserole is a hearty, rustic dish with origins in humble European peasant cooking, where simple, accessible ingredients were combined to create filling meals. It typically includes layers of diced potatoes, ground meat (often beef or pork), onions, carrots, and cabbage, seasoned with garlic, herbs, and spices. It may feature cream or cheese for richness, making it a comfort food classic. Though the dish is calorie-dense due to its starchy potatoes and potential use of fatty meat, it also provides essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins A and C from the vegetables, and protein from the meat. Healthier versions can substitute lean meats and reduce added fats for a balanced take. Peasant Casserole is celebrated for its affordability, simplicity, and ability to nourish a family.
