This is the kind of dinner where everyone says “just one more spoonful” — and nobody stops at one. Golden potato slices baked over rich ground meat simmered in tomato sauce with garlic, thyme, and a hint of chili, with a creamy layer that ties it all together. One pan, and it never survives the evening.
