Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

  • 1/2 cup milk or beef broth

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • 2 cups cooked pasta or diced potatoes (optional)

  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

  • Add onion and garlic; sauté until soft.

  • Stir in vegetables and seasonings. Cook for 3–4 minutes.

  • Mix soup and milk in a bowl, then add to the skillet. Stir to coat.

  • Fold in pasta or potatoes if using. Transfer mixture to baking dish.

  • Top with shredded cheese and optional breadcrumbs.

  • Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

  • Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Freeze unbaked for up to 2 months. Try ground turkey for a leaner version.
