Meanwhile heat a bit of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet and sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes. Add ground beef and after another few minutes also add the spices.

Season with pepper and salt and divide over the bottom of a large oven dish.  

Drain the sauerkraut and divide on top of the ground beef. Drain the potatoes and mash them, the mashed potatoes don't have to be super smooth. Season the mashed potatoes with pepper and salt and divide them on top of the sauerkraut.

Add the slices of pineapple on top and finish with a layer of grated cheese. Bake the casserole in the oven for about half an hour, or until the cheese is beautiful golden brown.
