Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
4 medium potatoes, diced
2 large carrots, chopped
1 cup frozen green peas
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 cups beef broth (warm)
1 tbsp flour or cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Stir to coat. Sprinkle in flour/cornstarch if using.
Add diced potatoes and chopped carrots. Stir well.
Pour in beef broth, just enough to cover ingredients. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until veggies begin to soften.
Transfer mixture to the casserole dish. Sprinkle green peas evenly on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes.
Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until top is golden and sauce has thickened.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
