Ingredients (Serves 8)

• 2 pounds ground beef

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 (20-ounce) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

• 2 (10.5-ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup

• ½ cup sour cream

• ¼ cup milk

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen peas and carrots, thawed and well drained

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking until the onion is translucent. Drain any excess fat and let the mixture cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Casserole Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and the cooked beef mixture. Add the thawed peas and carrots and mix until well combined.

4. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.

6. Rest and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
