Baeckeoffe is a traditional dish from the Alsace region of France, known for its hearty and comforting qualities. It is a type of casserole made with layers of marinated meats, typically pork, beef, and lamb, along with potatoes and onions. The ingredients are slow-cooked in a sealed pot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. The name "Baeckeoffe" translates to "baker's oven," as it was historically prepared by local bakers. People would bring their ingredients to the bakery, where they would be cooked in the residual heat of the oven after bread was baked. This dish is often enjoyed with a side of sauerkraut or crusty bread.
