Ingredients for Beef Puff Casserole

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Dried Thyme
  • Egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • Soft Breadcrumbs
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Beef Puff Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, 1/2 cup beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup milk.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the beef mixture. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let stand for 5-10 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.
