Steam 8 heads of chicory until soft, squeeze out the moisture well, and sauté them in some butter. Set aside.
Mix the ground meat with all the ingredients, roll into balls, and brown them nicely. They do not need to be fully cooked, as they will go into the oven.
Prepare the mashed potatoes and the cheese sauce.
Take a large baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes along the sides. Place the sautéed chicory and the meatballs in the dish and pour the cheese sauce over it. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for 25 minutes at 185°C.
Meanwhile, finely chop the last head of chicory, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with kitchen paper. Distribute this over the dish and serve.
