Instructions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 190°C. Lightly grease a 23 × 33 cm baking dish.
- Cook the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the beef, until browned. Drain excess fat.

- Make the creamy mixture: In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Stir until smooth.
- Combine: Add the cooked beef, mixed vegetables, and 100 g cheddar to the soup mixture. Stir well.
- Assemble: Spread the beef mixture evenly in the baking dish. Arrange the thawed hash browns over the top.
- Add cheese: Brush the hash browns with melted butter. Sprinkle with the remaining 100 g cheddar and Parmesan.
- Bake: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20–25 minutes, until the hash browns are golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Rest: Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving.
