Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup green beans, chopped

Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper while cooking until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef is cooking, slice the carrots, dice the potatoes, chop the green beans, and prepare the corn kernels (fresh or thawed if frozen).
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or casserole dish, combine the cooked ground beef mixture with the carrots, potatoes, corn, and green beans. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with dried thyme and dried parsley until well blended. Pour this sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture, folding gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the combined mixture into a greased casserole dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish warm as a satisfying main course.

Notes

  • For softer vegetables, you can partially cook the potatoes and carrots before assembling the casserole.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat version, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as peas or mushrooms for variation.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
