Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until it’s browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the mixed vegetables, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top of the mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and use any vegetables you prefer.
