1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Vegetables:
-
1 cup carrots, sliced

For the Sauce:
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 teaspoon dried parsley
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic until beef is browned and onion is translucent. Drain excess fat. Season with salt and black pepper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked beef mixture, carrots, potatoes, corn, and green beans.

Stir in cream of mushroom soup, dried thyme, and dried parsley until well combined.
-
Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
-
Use fresh or frozen vegetables as preferred. If frozen, thaw before mixing.
-
Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative to beef.
-
Add other vegetables like peas or mushrooms for variety.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated well.
