Hamburger Casserole

The recipe is called Harvest Hamburger Casserole, but its a long time until harvest and this hardy dish was warm and comforting on a winter day. I like casserole recipes for their convenience. Once you get the dish prepared you have meat, pasta or potatoes, and veggies all in one entree. Most recipes are a large enough quantity to last 2 - 3 meals at our house, so fewer times to cook!
Of course, I changed this from the original Taste of Home recipe which called for frozen corn and frozen lima beans - I used frozen mixed vegetables (what I had in the freezer).

Winter (or Harvest) Hamburger Casserole

1 ½ pound lean ground beef

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

3 - 3½ cups frozen vegetables

1 medium green pepper, julienned

1 ½ cups (6 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in onion, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. 

Layer with potatoes, flour, vegetables and green pepper. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
