Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3–4 medium potatoes, cooked and sliced or 8 oz cooked egg noodles

Gravy

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour or gravy mix (gluten-free option: gluten-free flour or gravy mix)
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth or stock
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (ensure gluten-free if needed)

Seasonings

  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Optional herbs (e.g., thyme, parsley)

Cheese Topping

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or substitute with mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat and Onions: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned. Add the diced onions and sauté until soft and translucent, allowing their sweetness to infuse the beef mixture.
  2. Prepare the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour or gravy mix evenly over the meat and onions. Stir to coat thoroughly. Slowly pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth, rich gravy.
  3. Layer the Ingredients in a Baking Dish: Grease a casserole dish. Spread a layer of cooked potatoes or egg noodles evenly on the bottom. Spoon the hamburger and gravy mixture over this layer, distributing it evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the casserole, ensuring an even coverage for a golden, gooey finish.
  5. Bake Until Bubbly: Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbling, indicating the dish is perfectly cooked and ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh onions and good quality ground beef to enhance flavor.
  • Cook potatoes until tender but firm to hold their shape during baking.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for easier serving and flavor melding.
  • For extra indulgence, add cheese between layers as well as on top.
  • Season gradually and taste the gravy to balance saltiness and spices.
