Shape the patties to about one inch thick for even cooking. When cooking, pay attention to your oven type. If you use a convection oven, reduce the cooking time by about 10 minutes. If your oven runs hot, check the patties sooner. Use a meat thermometer for best results. The internal temperature should reach 160°F for safety.

Make Ahead: This recipe can be prepared the night before. Assemble the dish, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Just bake it the next day for a quick and hearty meal. Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables. Broccoli, green beans, or even diced tomatoes can be delicious alternatives to the mixed vegetables. Perfect Potato Layer: For a crispy potato topping, consider parboiling the potato slices for a few minutes before layering them. This gives them a head start on cooking and ensures they are tender and golden. {{image_4}} You can easily change the meat in this dish. Ground turkey or chicken works well. These options keep it light while still tasty. Just remember, they may cook faster, so watch them closely. If you want to swap the cream of mushroom soup, you have choices. You can use cream of chicken or even cream of celery soup. These alternatives give a new flavor twist. They also keep the dish creamy and delicious. Need a gluten-free meal? No problem! Use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of regular ones. This small swap keeps the dish safe for those with gluten issues. For a vegetarian version, skip the meat. You can use plant-based ground meat and a vegetable broth. This option is hearty, filling, and still very comforting. Want to add more flavor? Try mixing in spices or herbs. A dash of paprika or thyme can give extra depth. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can brighten the dish too. Cheese lovers can switch up the cheese as well. While cheddar is classic, consider mozzarella or pepper jack. Each choice adds a unique taste and texture to your bake. To store leftovers, let the dish cool. Divide it into smaller portions for easy access. Use airtight containers to keep the meal fresh. It's best to use glass or plastic containers. These keep moisture in and prevent spills.

  • 0.25 cup finely chopped onion
  • 0.25 cup chopped green bell pepper

  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for cooking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, egg, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Shape the beef mixture into four evenly sized patties, about 1 inch thick, and set them aside on a plate.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and brown them for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust. Once browned, transfer the patties to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In the same skillet used for the patties, add the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Carefully pour the creamy soup mixture evenly over the browned hamburger patties in the baking dish. Then, sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables on top, distributing them evenly.
  • Layer the thinly sliced potatoes over the mixture, slightly overlapping each slice to ensure full coverage, creating a beautiful pattern.
  • Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese atop the potato layer for a melty, cheesy finish.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap in moisture and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
  • Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
