Amish Hamburger with Veggies (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 medium onion, chopped
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 3 cups diced potatoes
05 - 2 cups diced carrots
06 - 1 cup diced celery
07 - 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
08 - 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
09 - 1 cup beef broth
10 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Seasonings

11 - 1 tsp salt
12 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
13 - 1 tsp dried thyme
14 - 1 tsp dried rosemary
15 - 1 tbsp olive oil

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
04 - Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in the corn kernels, cooked ground beef, diced tomatoes (with juice), and beef broth. Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
06 - Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
07 - Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
08 - Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For a lighter version, use ground turkey or chicken as a substitute for beef. Customize the dish by adding favorite veggies or sneaking in some finely chopped spinach or zucchini. For extra spice, include a dash of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño. Experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist.
