Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Vegetables

  • 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

Liquids and Seasoning

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Cheese

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned all over. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery into the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften the vegetables.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Add the corn kernels, cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes with their juice, and beef broth to the skillet. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir everything together thoroughly.
  6. Bake: Transfer this vegetable and beef mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
  7. Add Cheese: Remove the foil carefully, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly for easier portioning and enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels based on availability and preference.
  • You can substitute beef broth with vegetable broth if a lighter flavor is desired.
  • For added richness, use sharp cheddar cheese for topping.
  • Make sure to dice vegetables evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • This dish can be prepared a day ahead and reheated for convenience.
