Dolly Parton's casserole recipe is a quick, easy weeknight meal with just five primary ingredients, capturing the heart of southern cooking tradition.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb ground beef
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 cup diced onions
1 package frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready once you're done preparing the ingredients.
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat to keep your casserole from becoming greasy.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, tomato soup, onions, and mixed vegetables. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. This ensures each serving scoops out perfectly.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, ensuring every bite is cheesy and delicious.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
