For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture for a subtle kick. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables in place of the mixed vegetables. Diced carrots, peas, or green beans would all work well. If you prefer a creamier casserole, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt into the beef mixture before layering. To make ahead, assemble the casserole up to the point of baking. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an additional 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. For a golden-brown crust, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease. Season generously with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in the condensed French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually stir this slurry into the beef mixture. Continue to simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside. (5 minutes)
04
StepWhile the beef is simmering, place the sliced potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly softened but still firm. Drain well. (8 minutes)
05
StepSpread half of the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange half of the partially cooked potato slices over the beef. Cover with a layer of the thawed and drained mixed vegetables. Repeat the layers with the remaining beef mixture, potatoes, and vegetables. (10 minutes)
06
StepCover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is heated through. (50 minutes)
07
StepRemove the foil and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (10 minutes)
08
StepLet the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. (10 minutes)
