1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking pan with olive oil.
2
Thinly slice quarter of the onion and set it aside for later. Finely chop the remaining three-quarters of the onion.
3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, kosher salt, ground black pepper, allspice and ground beef.
4
Pour the olive oil over the ground beef mixture. Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
5
Spread the meat mixture evenly on the greased baking pan. Using your index and middle fingers, create indents in the meat from one end of the pan to the other.
6
Pour the tomato sauce uniformly over the meat mixture. Top the sauce with the reserved thinly sliced onion. Garnish with a bit more chopped parsley and the sliced tomato.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The sides of the casserole will shrink away from the edges of the pan when it's done.
8
Serve your Beef Kefta Casserole warm. It pairs perfectly with a side of rice or roast potatoes, a fresh salad, and a dollop of yogurt or sour cream. Enjoy!
