Description
A cozy, no-fuss weeknight meal featuring layers of browned beef, vegetables, and hearty potatoes in a creamy mushroom sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion. Measure out the frozen vegetables so they are ready to add.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion. Cook until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft, about 6–8 minutes. Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet with the beef and cook for another 4–5 minutes until they begin to heat through. Taste and season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- In a large baking dish, spread the diced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom. Spread the beef and vegetable mixture over the potatoes. Pour the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the top and spread gently so it covers the mixture. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove the foil. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set so you can serve neat portions.
Notes
Pair with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans for added freshness. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
