How to Make Baked Cheeseburger Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Butter both sides of 8 slices of bread. Cut each slice diagonally in half to create 16 triangles and set aside.
  3. Heat a medium-sized, heavy frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Add 450g ground beef, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 celery stalks (finely chopped), 1 tbsp prepared mustard, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  6. Grease a shallow 2-quart casserole dish.
  7. Layer half of the toast triangles in the dish. Top with half of the beef mixture, then half of 225g shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Repeat layers with remaining toast, beef mixture, and cheese.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp dry mustard, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  10. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp paprika.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
