Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef (or turkey) with chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture with sliced potatoes, carrots, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and vegetables are tender.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, stir in ½ cup of sour cream or softened cream cheese before baking.

Frozen mixed veggies can be used instead of fresh vegetables, no need to thaw them.

Add smoked paprika or Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture for extra flavor.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
