  • Author: mark-bennett
  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

A comforting one-pan meal with layered flavors, perfect for family gatherings or cozy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or chicken
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups mixed vegetables (like green beans, corn, and carrots)
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef or chicken in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer on the mixed vegetables and then the sliced potatoes.
  4. Combine the cream of mushroom soup and broth in a mixing bowl. Pour this mixture over the layered ingredients.
  5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Return the dish to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For healthier options, use lean ground turkey instead of beef and consider a homemade sauce using Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2-3 months.
