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:

In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat.
Season with additional salt and pepper while cooking.

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.
