Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, and brown for 5‑7 minutes, draining excess fat.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Transfer diced potatoes and mixed vegetables to a 9‑by‑13‑inch baking dish; spread the beef‑onion mixture over them.
Pour canned diced tomatoes and beef broth over the layered ingredients; season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for 15 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the potatoes are tender.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a cheesy crust
