Tips:

  • Choose the Right Beef: Opt for a lean cut of beef like chuck roast or stew meat. These cuts have a good amount of marbling, which will help keep the beef moist during cooking.
  • Brown the Beef: Browning the beef before adding it to the casserole helps develop flavor and create a rich, savory sauce.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just a few vegetables. Experiment with different combinations to create a colorful and flavorful casserole.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can become mushy and lose their flavor. Aim for a tender-crisp texture.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. Choose a flavorful broth that complements the other ingredients.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Top with Cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the casserole adds a delicious golden-brown crust and extra flavor.
  • Let the Casserole Rest: Before serving, let the casserole rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

A beef veggie casserole is a hearty, comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering.
