4 c. mashed potatoes, seasoned with butter, salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg
1 med. onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. ground beef
1 sweet pepper, in strips
1/2 c. oil
3 hard boiled eggs, sliced
10 olives, chopped
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Heat oil and saute onion with garlic; add sweet pepper and cook over a quick fire a few minutes. Add meat, stirring to blend well all ingredients and when beef is cooked remove from the fire. Season to taste and add sliced boiled eggs and chopped olives (you can also, if you like it, add 1/2 cup raisins previously soaked in water). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and cover the bottom with a layer of the meat mixture. Cover top with a layer of the mashed potatoes. Score top with fork, spread with the grated cheese (and if you like some paprika, to color it). Bake in a moderate oven until the top is lightly browned. Serve hot. You can serve it with a green salad.
