1 lb ground beef or spicy ground sausage
1 tbsp olive oil
1 c frozen vegetables
1 small onion diced
1/3 tsp salt and pepper
1/3 tsp granulated garlic
3 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 c chicken broth or use 1 can of cream of mushroom soup if you want it creamier
1.5-2 c hashbrowns thawed from frozen or 2 potatoes peeled and shredded in food processor
1 c cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 360 F. Fry the onion in the oil for 5 minutes. Then add chopped garlic and fry for 1 more minute. Add ground beef and fry everything together for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the broth, add salt, pepper and granulated garlic, mix. Add frozen vegetables and grated cheese (2/3 cup), stir and wait until the cheese is melted (1-2 minutes).
Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish. Peel the potatoes and rub them on a coarse grater, squeeze out the excess moisture. (or use about 1.5 cup of thawed bagged hashbrowns) Lay the potatoes on top of the minced meat. Bake for 30 minutes.
Put the remaining cheese on top and bake for another 15 minutes. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve. You can sprinkle with fresh herbs.
