- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup beef broth (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Cook ground beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Prepare vegetables: In a baking dish, combine the potatoes, carrots, and green beans. Add the chopped onions and toss everything together.
- Mix beef and vegetables: Once the ground beef is cooked, spread it evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish. If desired, pour beef broth over the mixture for extra moisture.
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the potatoes to soften and the vegetables to become tender.
- Serve: Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious and hearty meal with family and friends!
