Ingredients
  

  • 0.4536 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables
  • 0.296 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.6667 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 4 cups prepared stuffing mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • optional fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • To the skillet with the beef, add the chopped onion, garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
  • Stir in the mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined and heated through.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared stuffing mix with 1 cup of water according to package instructions. Stir to moisten evenly.
  • In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom. Pile the stuffing mixture on top of the beef layer, spreading it out so it's even.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing layer.
  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
