Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (approximately 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz or 300 g)
  • 1 cup beef broth (240 ml)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (5 g)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (5 g)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (200 g)
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips (90 g, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined and heated through.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture. Optionally, top with crushed potato chips for added crunch.
  7. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted and golden.
  8. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
