Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Break the meat apart and cook until no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the mixed fall vegetables, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes.
- Transfer the beef and veggie mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish (or similar). Spread it evenly and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
Baking
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes to let the vegetables become tender.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in spots.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes
This casserole is adaptable. You can swap ground turkey or plant-based beef for a lighter or vegetarian option. For a saucier bake, stir in 1/4 cup sour cream or a splash of cream before baking.
