Here is how you make Alsacian Sauerkraut Casserole:

Start peeling and cooking potatoes first.Preheat oven to 200?C/390?F.Dice bacon and onion. In a frying pan, fry bacon bits and onion, add ground beef and keep frying until crumbly and browned. Deglaze with the glass of wine, season with pepper, salt, thyme, oregano and tomato paste.Drain potatoes, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Mash potatoes, adding cooking liquid until a spreadable texture and seasoning with nutmeg (you can add a dab of butter for taste, but it's not included in the calorie calculation since I feel it's not necessary).Oil a casserole dish and spread the drained Sauerkraut on the bottom. Top with the ground beef mixture, then cover with mashed tomatoes and smooth over top. Sprinkle with grated Gouda cheese.Bake in 200?C/390?F degree oven for 40 minutes or until golden.Serving Size: Serves 4.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BINEMELLES.
