Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 pounds leek, white and tender green parts only, thickly sliced

Preparation

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook potatoes until softened, about 10 minutes.
Bring a second pot of water to a boil and cook leeks until softened, about 8 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook and stir beef, pork, curry, thyme, salt, and pepper until browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish with butter.
