What do you have?
So, we have all been there. Staring into the fridge at random ingredients, wondering what we can make with this hodge podge of random things. I have these 5 ingredients in my refrigerator. I have a full pantry as well. What can I make?
Ground beef, cheese, fingerling potatoes, grated cheese, and broccoli
With those ingredients, you could make a delicious cheesy beef and potato casserole with broccoli on the side! Here’s a simple recipe idea:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- Fingerling potatoes, sliced into rounds
- Broccoli florets
- Shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the beef is cooking, boil or steam the fingerling potato slices until just tender.
- In a baking dish, layer the cooked ground beef evenly at the bottom.
- Arrange the cooked potato slices on top of the beef.
- Spread a layer of shredded cheese over the potatoes.
- Place broccoli florets around the edges or on top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle additional grated cheese over the broccoli.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
