Instructions

1- Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F 200°C.

2- Prepare Potatoes:

• Grate the potatoes and rinse them under cold water in a strainer until the water runs clear.
• Squeeze them very dry to remove all excess moisture.

3- Brown Ground Beef:

4- Prepare Egg Mixture:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, protein almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

5- Layer Ingredients:

• Use individual baking dishes or a large baking dish.
• Create a base layer with grated potatoes.
• Add an even layer of the browned ground beef.
• Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the beef layer.
• Pour the egg mixture evenly over all layers.

6- Initial Bake:

• Bake the casserole in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

7- Add Cheese & Final Bake:

• Remove from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
• Return to bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

8- Rest:

• Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.
