Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until tender.
Step 2: Brown the beef
While the vegetables roast, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until beef is browned and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
Step 3: Mix the casserole base
In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, roasted vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Stir until well incorporated.
Step 4: Assemble the casserole
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Parmesan evenly over the top.
Step 5: Bake
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
Step 6: Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Fresh vegetables roast best for crisp texture and vibrant flavor.
- Frozen veggies can be used in a pinch but may release more water, so roast slightly longer or drain excess moisture.
- Cut veggies into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
