Pastel de Yuca con Carne (Cassava and Beef Casserole)

/ Beef Recipes

I love sharing my youth dishes and stories with you. Often while I am cooking a particular dish, I discover myself smiling at the memories of Mamita in the kitchen area.

This Pastel de Yuca con Carne is a quick and simple meal. It is one of those dishes that reminds me of home, and a meal that you will not often discover on a menu in a Colombian dining establishment. Home cooked Colombian food is reassuring and gratifying.

I Hope you delight in making this Cassava and Beef Casserole. Feel free to change the beef with the meat of your option, or simply use vegetables and cheese for a meatless meal. Buen provecho!
