Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

2 medium potatoes, diced

1 small onion, chopped

1 zucchini, diced

2 carrots, peeled and sliced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup green beans, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup beef broth

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up into crumbles until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.

Add the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes to the skillet with the beef. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Add the zucchini, corn, and green beans to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.

Pour in the beef broth and milk, mixing to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until heated through.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also cover it with foil to keep the moisture in while reheating.
