Ingredients

Start to finish: 45 minutes

1 pound ground beef
19-ounce can ready-to-serve chunky vegetable soup
6-ounce package instant stuffing mix
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef until lightly browned and no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes.

While the beef cooks, prepare the stuffing according to package directions.

When the beef is done, use a mesh strainer to drain it to remove excess fat. Return the beef to the skillet. Add the soup and stir well.

Spoon half the stuffing into the casserole dish. Add the beef and soup mixture, then the cheese and the remaining stuffing. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through.

Makes 4 servings.
