Critical Success Points

  • Roast potatoes until golden and crisp (step 5).
  • Blend queso with milk after microwaving to avoid curdling (step 9).
  • Develop a good sear on the ground beef before stirring (step 10‑11).
  • High‑heat browning of zucchini and mushrooms without overcooking (step 15).
  • Separate storage of components to maintain freshness and texture (step 17).

Safety Warnings

  • Use oven mitts when handling hot sheet pans.
  • Beware of hot oil splatter when sautéing.
  • Microwave‑safe bowl only; handle with care after heating.
