Review:
This was kind of a weird recipe…layering a tomato meat sauce with potatoes and then pesto alfredo sauce. I was a little nervous as I was making it and then I saw it and thought, boy that sure looks gross. However, it turned out really yummy. Greg thought it was the best thing ever and gives it 5 stars. Next time I make it, I’ll probably cube the potatoes instead of slicing them. I will also make sure to use extra lean ground beef (mine seemed a little greasy). I give this 4 stars.
You were definitely right! that was an interesting looking combination at first, but after one bite I was hooked I loved it. I started trying to think of my "side for it" and I guess the potatoes in it is fine I think next time. I'll omit the potatoes, with just the meat mix and serve over pasta! The ONLY issue I had was all that oil sitting on top. I think between the meat and the pesto oil, it was to much. Maybe, drain the oil off the pasta next time,I don't think it will be missed =)added my link to my blog! Thanks for another great dish.
I had all kinsa errors with that.*drain off the oil from the PESTO, and my link didn't post I guess http://www.kitchenistacreations.com/2012/04/11/pesto-beef-strata/.
