SOUP BASE

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the butter and mushrooms until the mushrooms are browned. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until combined.

Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, while constantly stirring, until the mixture is smooth.

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Add in the sour cream, cooked bacon, salt and pepper and stir until fully combined. Set aside.

CASSEROLE

In a large non-stick skillet, cook the ground beef, carrots, onions, bell peppers, and garlic until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Combine the cooked vegetable-beef mixture with the prepared soup base.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half the shredded hash browns at the bottom. Pour the beef and vegetable mixture on top and spread evenly.

Cover the mixture with the remaining hash browns. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
