Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 3 large Carrots, thinly sliced
• 2 sticks Celery, chopped
• 1 14.5-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 8-ounce can Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Season the cooked beef mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce for added depth of flavor.

Step 4

Layer the thinly sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Step 5

Next, spoon the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the potato layer.

Step 6

Arrange the sliced carrots on top of the beef layer, followed by the chopped celery.

Step 7

Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and tomato sauce evenly over the vegetables. Gently shake the dish to help the liquid seep into the layers.

Step 8

Carefully pour the beef broth over the entire casserole and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top.

Step 11

Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 12

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty, layered dish with a twist!
