1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
2. Bring the olive oil to a simmer in a large pan set over medium heat. Proceed to brown the ground beef after adding it to the pan. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the pan and put it aside.
3. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the same pan that you would normally use. For around three to four minutes, sauté the onion until it becomes translucent.
4. Place the cauliflower, carrots, and celery that have been diced into the skillet. Cook for about five minutes, stirring the mixture regularly.
5. Mix in the ground beef that has been cooked, maize kernels, chopped tomatoes that have been drained of their liquid, and beef broth. The dish should be seasoned with thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt.
Move the mixture to a baking dish that is 9 inches by 13 inches and has been buttered. Wrap in aluminum foil, then place in an oven that has been prepared and bake for thirty minutes.
The seventh step is to take off the aluminum foil and then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. An extra ten to fifteen minutes should be spent in the oven, or until the cheese is bubbling and brown.
8. Before serving, let the baked goods to rest for a few minutes so that the flavors may combine and become more prominent. Have fun!
Alterations and Suggestions
As an alternative to ground beef, you might use ground turkey or chicken for a version that is lighter. If you have children who are picky eaters, you could want to provide them with their preferred vegetables or even sneak in some spinach or zucchini that has been finely diced. The addition of a dash of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño might provide a good kick for those who want a little bit of heat in their food. Altering the taste profile may also be accomplished by exchanging the cheddar cheese with another popular cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
