Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups egg noodles
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
Add the cooked egg noodles, ground beef mixture, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the soup mixture. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture in an even layer.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optionally, sprinkle paprika over the top as a garnish before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Too Easy Vegetable Beef Hot Dish!
