1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large potatoes, diced
2 large carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
1 cup beef broth
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine Ingredients: Add the corn, cooked beef, diced tomatoes (with juice), and beef broth. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.
Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Add Cheese: Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving.
For a lighter version, swap the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
Add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Adjust the cheese based on preference, such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
