Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups diced potatoes
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in corn, browned beef, diced tomatoes with juice, and beef broth. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Try mozzarella or pepper jack instead of cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- If veggies overcook, reduce their initial sauté time or cut them into larger chunks.
- Prep vegetables ahead of time for quicker assembly.
- Use vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor.
