1-First, preheat the oven to 400°F and get your ingredients ready by dicing the potatoes and carrots finely for even cooking. In a skillet, cook the ground beef with ½ cup diced yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves until browned, then stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Next, mix in 1 cup beef broth along with seasonings like 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1 teaspoon garlic powder to build the base.

2-After blending in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup sour cream, fold in the potatoes and carrots for a complete mixture.
