Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) ground beef
Binding and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce and Topping Ingredients:
- 10 ounces (280 grams) cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Create a hearty mixture by blending ground beef with finely diced onions, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring all components are thoroughly integrated.
- Gently form the seasoned meat mixture into uniform patties, taking care not to compress the meat too densely to maintain a tender texture.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and carefully sear the patties for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, developing a rich golden-brown exterior while preserving the meat’s juiciness.
- Transfer the browned patties to a separate plate and utilize the same skillet to craft a savory gravy by introducing beef broth and whisking in flour to achieve a luxurious, smooth consistency.
- Select a baking dish and strategically arrange the seared patties, generously coating them with the freshly prepared gravy.
- Enhance the dish by sprinkling shredded cheese and scattering frozen peas or corn across the surface for added color and flavor complexity.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and encase the baking dish with aluminum foil, allowing the casserole to gently cook and meld flavors for 20-30 minutes.
- During the final moments of baking, uncover the dish to let the cheese melt into a golden, appetizing finish.
- Allow the casserole to rest briefly after removing from the oven, then serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or a crisp side salad for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Enhance meat flavor by using a blend of ground beef and ground pork for added richness and juiciness.
- Customize patties by adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to boost the overall taste profile.
- Reduce fat content by using lean ground beef or substituting with ground turkey for a lighter version.
- Create a gluten-free option by replacing breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour.
