Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.

Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the vegetables as the fifth layer.

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 75 minutes.
