Notes
- *If using fresh vegetables such as carrots and celery, they should be steamed or can be cooked in the frying pan along with the browned beef until tender.
- Frozen vegetables should be thawed first. Any variation or mixture of vegetables can be added.
- Canned mushroom soup can be substituted with other "cream of" soups, gravy, or even a can of gravy or tomato soup.
- Any size casserole dish can be used for this recipe. A deeper dish may need a little bit of extra cooking time.
- This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. If chilled from the fridge, it will require extra baking time.
- Leftovers will keep for 4 days in the refrigerator and 4 months in the freezer.
