How to Make Au Gratin Beef Bake
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the beef is no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a greased 2 1/2-quart baking dish, combine the beef mixture with 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced), 1 packet (1 ounce) of au gratin potato sauce mix, 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
- Stir in 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk.
- Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
