Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and black pepper. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Spread the thinly sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish as the first layer.
Scatter the sliced carrots over the potatoes to form the second layer.
Add a layer of sliced onions as the third layer.
Spread the sliced green bell pepper over the onions to create the fourth layer.
Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the vegetables as the fifth layer.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) evenly over the top of the dish, ensuring they cover the layers thoroughly to make the sixth layer.
Sprinkle the paprika over the tomatoes for added flavor.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 75 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Six Layer Dinner!
