Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 pounds ground beef
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups mashed potatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and preheat your oven to 350F. This ensures the perfect warm cooking environment.
- Place 2 pounds of ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break the meat into small crumbles while cooking for even browning.
- Dice 1 medium onion and add it directly to the beef during cooking. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and the meat reaches a rich golden brown color.
- Drain all excess fat from the skillet to keep your dish lean and clean-tasting.
- Season the beef mixture with 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons flour with 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup milk until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Transfer the seasoned beef mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Pour the flour-based gravy mixture directly over the beef, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully spread 4 cups of prepared mashed potatoes across the top, creating a complete seal over the meat and gravy.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake exactly 35 minutes until the potatoes develop a light golden crust.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
Notes
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent a greasy casserole and ensure crisp texture.
- Use lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15) for best flavor without excessive fat.
- Season mashed potatoes with garlic powder or chives for extra depth and richness.
- Let the casserole rest 10 minutes after baking to help gravy set and make serving easier.
