Ingredients
  

Protein and Aromatics
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20) Use leaner beef if preferred.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth Can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth if needed.
Vegetables
  • 2 cups mixed fall vegetables Ideas include carrots, diced potatoes, butternut or acorn squash.
Sauces and Seasonings
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Or use 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Sharp cheddar is classic.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  1. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes to let the vegetables become tender.
  2. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in spots.
  3. 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.
