In a small bowl, combine minced onion, onion powder, dried parsley, black pepper and beef bouillon granules. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil to medium heat. Brown the beef, onion and garlic until no longer pink.
Add the seasoning mixture from step 1, as well as all remaining ingredients except for the frozen mixed vegetables. Simmer covered for 10 minutes.
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.
Serve with shredded cheese on top.
