Ingredients

Pumpkin:

  • 1 smaller Hokkaido pumpkin
  • 400 g Ground beef
  • 1 tbsp Mustard
  • 3 tbsp Kefir (only 1 egg)
  • 1 tsp Seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic pepper
  • 1 tbsp Paprika powder
  • 1 pinch Fenugreek powder
  • Telly cherry pepper
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • Chopped rosemary
  • 200 g Bavaria Blu
  • 30 Discs Mixed with bacon, sliced

Potato gratin:

  • 1 kg Waxy potatoes with their skin on
  • 250 ml Milk
  • 250 ml Cream
  • 1 piece Clove of garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • Nutmeg
  • 100 g Grated Emmental
  • Parsley

Instructions

Pumpkin:

  • Wash the pumpkin, cut in half and quarter. Remove cores. Knead the minced meat with the mustard, kefir, paprika powder, seasoned salt, garlic pepper, nutmeg, fenugreek, pepper and rosemary well. Cut the cheese into 8 even slices.
  • Now distribute a slice of cheese on each of the pumpkin wedges, then cut the mince through 4 parts and press on the cheese of the pumpkins. Finally, distribute the remaining 4 cheese slices on top. Then place 4 slices of bacon next to each other, overlapping them, and place the pumpkin on top, fold up the bacon around the pumpkin and put exactly the same on the pumpkin again, place bacon next to each other and press on all around. Cold spots.

Potato gratin: Oven top / bottom heat 250 ° degrees

  • Peel the potatoes and cut finely into slices. Peel the garlic and grate finely! Slowly heat the milk, cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg with the potato slices and cook for about 10 minutes while stirring. I used a flat roasting pan for this in which I then also bake everything. But you can also tip everything into a baking dish :-)
  • Then sprinkle the gratin with cheese and place the pumpkin pieces on the gratin. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.
  • Then take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve! There was also a green salad! It also tastes great with just a salad! Or even without minced meat. Pumpkin just wrapped in bacon! :-)
