Serving Size 4 servings

1 lb ground beef You can substitute with turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini) Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Vegan cheese can be used as an alternative.
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional) For a creamier texture.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and drain excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the mixed vegetables along with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender.

In a large baking dish, combine the beef and vegetable mixture with half of the shredded cheese.
If desired, mix in Greek yogurt or sour cream for creaminess.
Top the casserole with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze in portions for easy reheating.
