Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Gravy and Assembly

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef with finely chopped onions, egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients without compacting the meat too much.
  2. Shape and Brown the Patties: Form the mixture into thick hamburger patties. Brown them in a hot skillet until they develop a nice crust on both sides to lock in the juices and add rich flavor.
  3. Create the Gravy Sauce: In the same skillet, add mushrooms if using and sauté until tender. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up brown bits from the pan to deepen the flavor. Let it simmer until slightly thickened.
  4. Assemble the Bake: Place browned patties in a casserole dish. Pour the savory gravy over the top, then sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese. Cover loosely with foil for even cooking.
  5. Bake Until Bubbly: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the dish is heated through.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat mixture to keep patties tender rather than dense.
  • Use fresh or high-quality beef broth for deeper flavor.
  • Allow the bake to rest a few minutes after baking to retain juices.
  • Mix different types of cheese for extra depth and texture.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning of the gravy before assembling the bake.
  • For gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs or crackers.
