**Step-by-Step Instructions**
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
2. In a large pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once it’s cooked through, drain any excess fat to keep things light.
3. Add the sliced onions and diced carrots to the pan; sauté until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. The aroma will have your mouth watering!
4. Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional minute to cook out that raw flour taste.
5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk until you have a smooth mixture. Allow it to simmer, watching it thicken beautifully.
6. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. This brings out the savory goodness—don’t skip this step!
7. In a greased casserole dish, layer your potato slices at the bottom. Pour the delicious beef mixture over them evenly.
8. Top it off with the frozen green beans, distributing them well.
9. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese over the entire dish—just imagine that gooey cheese when it melts!
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is beautifully golden brown.
11. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before savoring each bite!

**Serving Suggestions**
This casserole pairs well with a side salad for a refreshing crunch or some crusty bread to soak up those flavorful juices. You can even serve it with a dollop of sour cream or some fresh herbs to brighten the dish!
