Cooking Method

Step 01	Preheat oven to 220°C. Squeeze excess moisture from the shredded potatoes. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Step 02	Press firmly into the base of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 25 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
Step 03	Meanwhile, heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the beef until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 04	In the same pan, sauté onion until translucent. Add garlic, bell pepper and mushrooms. Cook until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Return beef to the pan and combine. Remove from heat.
Step 05	In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cheese or nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper until smooth.
Step 06	Reduce oven temperature to 200°C. Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the baked potato crust. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Step 07	Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the centre is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Step 08	Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
