A delightful casserole combining savory beef, fresh vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes, topped with melted cheese.
Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the dish lighter.
Add minced garlic, salt, tomato sauce, green beans, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors together.
Transfer the beef mixture to a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed for consistent baking.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, creating an even layer.
Use a fork to create a textured surface on the potatoes for a crispy finish.
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden crust, broil the casserole for the last 2 minutes.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Beef and Veggie Bake!
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
