3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup beef broth

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Add onions and garlic, cooking until softened. Drain excess fat.

2. While beef cooks, dice potatoes and slice carrots. Trim ends of green beans if using fresh.

3. In a greased 9×13 baking dish, spread the cooked beef mixture evenly across the bottom.

4. Layer potatoes and carrots on top of the beef, followed by the green beans.

5. In a bowl, whisk together tomato paste, beef broth, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over the casserole evenly.

6. Cover dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes until veggies are fork-tender and the top is slightly crispy.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top during the final 15 minutes of baking.

Swap green beans with frozen peas if preferred or in season.
