Leek Casserole with Meat and Potatoes image

I prefer to use a mixture of ground beef and ground pork for this easy casserole with lots of leeks, potatoes, tomatoes, and cheese. I often make it in advance up until the final cheese stage. Just cover and refrigerate and then when you're ready to bake it, sprinkle with cheese and throw it into the oven.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs some tweaking. I'm going to try adding some different vegetables and spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as well as I expected. I think I might have overcooked it.

The casserole was a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

This casserole was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

Great recipe! The casserole was creamy and flavorful. I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and it turned out even better.
