How to Make Pastelón
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry plantain slices until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the tomato sauce, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place a layer of fried plantains in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spoon half of the seasoned ground beef mixture over the plantains.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Repeat the layers: plantains, beef, and cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Dominican Pastelón!
