# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Main
01 -
450 grams ground beef
02 -
800 grams frozen cubed potatoes with onions and peppers
03 -
300 grams cheddar cheese soup (canned)
04 -
300 grams cream of celery soup or cream of mushroom soup (canned)
05 -
200 grams shredded cheddar cheese, divided (use more as desired)
06 -
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 33x23 cm baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
02 -
In a medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Use a paper towel to remove excess fat from the pan.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, frozen cubed potatoes with onions and peppers, cheddar cheese soup, cream of celery or mushroom soup, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Add additional seasoning if desired, keeping in mind that the soups already contain salt.
04 -
Transfer the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese (about 100 grams or more to taste) over the top.
05 -
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
06 -
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling. For a more caramelised cheese topping, use the broiler for the last 2–3 minutes if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For kid-friendly results, substitute plain frozen cubed potatoes if onions or peppers are not preferred.
02 -
Enhance nutrition by adding cooked vegetables such as frozen green beans or chopped zucchini to the mixture before baking.
03 -
Any creamy condensed soup and cheese variety may be used based on personal taste.
04 -
Include fresh bell peppers, mushrooms, or corn for added flavour and variety.
