LEEK CASSEROLE WITH MEAT AND POTATOES

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.
