𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 lb ground beef 🍔
1 small onion, chopped 🧅
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup 🍲
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) 🥕🌽
1/2 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1/2 tsp paprika 🌶️
4 cups frozen hashbrowns 🥔
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂🌶️
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish 🌿

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Preheat the oven: 🔥 Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. This will ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking. 🍽️

2. Cook the ground beef: 🍔 In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. The seasoned beef will add a rich, savory flavor to the casserole. 🧅🧄

3. Prepare the mixture: 🍲 In the same skillet, stir in the cream of mushroom soup and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the veggies are slightly tender and everything is well combined. This creamy beef and veggie mixture will form the base of the casserole. 🥕

4. Assemble the casserole: 🥔 Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with an even layer of frozen hashbrowns, spreading them out to cover the beef mixture completely. The crispy hashbrowns will create a delicious topping as they bake. 🧑‍🍳

5. Add the cheese: 🧀 Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the hashbrowns. The cheese will melt and create a bubbly, golden topping for the casserole. 🎂

6. Bake the casserole: 🔥 Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the hashbrowns are crispy on top. The casserole should be hot and bubbling. 🕒

7. Garnish and serve: 🌿 Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy this hearty, comforting casserole with family and friends! 🥰
