Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and potatoes. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Peas and Cheese

    Once the vegetables are tender, add the frozen peas and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm in bowls, and enjoy a comforting dinner with your family!
