This dish combines simple ingredients like ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, and a rich cream of mushroom soup, resulting in a flavorful and satisfying meal perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
For the Meat Patties
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, eggs, 1/2 cup milk, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Assemble the Dish: Form the meat mixture into patties and arrange them evenly in the prepared casserole dish. In a separate bowl, combine the two cans of cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 cup milk; pour this creamy mixture evenly over the patties.
- Cook to Perfection: Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly and the sauce to thicken.
- Finishing Touches: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley evenly over the top to add fresh color and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Notes
- Do not overmix the meat mixture to keep the patties tender and juicy.
- The cream of mushroom soup creates a rich and flavorful sauce that complements the beef perfectly.
- You can substitute fresh mushrooms sautéed with onions for an even richer texture and flavor.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and ensure the soup is gluten-free as well.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
