instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Then, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.

    3

    Next, add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking for approximately 10 minutes until it's fully browned. Be sure to break the beef into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks.

    4

    Stir in the peas, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix everything until well combined and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

    5

    In a separate bowl, mix the beef broth with cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Pour this mixture into the skillet and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

    6

    Transfer the beef and pea mixture into a casserole dish. Spread it evenly and then top with breadcrumbs.

    7

    Finally, bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.

    8

    Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add grated cheese on top before baking for a rich, creamy texture.
  • Incorporate other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
  • Use different types of meat, like ground turkey or chicken, for a lighter variation.
Important Tips
  • Do not rush the browning of the beef; it adds flavor to the dish.
  • Consider adding a splash of sesame oil for an additional depth of flavor.
  • Let the casserole sit after baking; this will help it set and make serving easier.
