Description

Ground beef is layered with sliced potatoes and frozen veggies and flavored with onion soup, Worcestershire and mustard. Topped with cheddar cheese. This has been a family favorite forever.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain excess grease. Season with garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in the onion soup, Worcestershire sauce and mustard, and bring to a boil. Mix together the cold water and flour, and stir into the sauce. Simmer over low heat for a few minutes, then set aside.
3 Meanwhile, place potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes, not until tender. Drain.
4 Spread half of the beef mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange half of the potatoes over the beef. Cover with a layer of mixed vegetables. Repeat layers.
5 Cover the dish, and bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Uncover, and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to melt cheese.
