Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for a classic casserole:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or any protein of your choice, like chicken or turkey)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
- 1 package (about 12 oz) frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, carrots, etc.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1-2 cups cooked pasta (such as elbow macaroni or penne)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add diced onions and minced garlic, and cook until onions are translucent.
- If you’re adding pasta, cook it according to package instructions while preparing the other ingredients.
- Stir in the condensed soup and milk into the skillet with the beef mixture. Mix well until everything is combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you’re including cooked pasta, add it to the skillet now and mix until evenly distributed.
- Spread the frozen mixed vegetables evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the beef (and pasta, if using) mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious casserole!
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding different vegetables, seasonings, or even swapping out the protein to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
