Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 package 24 oz frozen hash browns
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups crushed cornflakes or French fried onions

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat, until the beef reaches 160°F (71°C), about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. In the prepared baking dish, combine the cooked beef and onion, frozen hash browns, both soups, sour cream, 2 cups cheddar, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; spread evenly.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top, followed by the crushed cornflakes or French fried onions.
  6. Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the topping is golden and crispy.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set up properly.
