Serving and Storage Tips

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through, or microwave individual servings for 1 to 2 minutes.

If you want to freeze it, make sure the bake is completely cooled, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. It will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.

If prepping ahead, assemble everything through step 8, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you’re going straight from fridge to oven.

Ingredients

• 1 and a half pounds ground beef
• 1 large egg
• 1 third cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 half teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large yellow onion sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 and a half cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Skillet
• 9×13 inch baking dish
• Wooden spoon
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Aluminum foil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Go ahead and lightly grease your baking dish while the oven warms up.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together gently — just until combined. Overmixing can make your patties tough.
3. Shape the beef mixture into six oval patties. You can make them a little thinner if you want quicker baking.
4. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for about 3 minutes on each side. They don’t need to cook all the way through here — just get a beautiful crust.
5. Remove the patties and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté until soft and golden, about 5 to 7 minutes, scraping up any brown bits — that’s where the deep flavor comes from.
6. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir until it’s fully absorbed. Let it cook for about a minute to remove any raw flour taste.
7. Whisk in the beef broth slowly, then add the Worcestershire sauce. Finish by stirring in the cream of mushroom soup. Let the gravy simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes. The smell at this stage is incredible.
8. Arrange your patties in the baking dish and pour the gravy over them, making sure everything is covered nicely.
9. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. This helps trap moisture and infuse the patties with all that savory onion gravy.
10. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the top is beautifully bubbly and browned.
11. Serve warm spooned over mashed potatoes, white rice, or buttered egg noodles, with a sprinkle of chopped parsley if you like a little color.

Recipe Notes

For extra flavor, use freshly grilled onions in the gravy or add a spoonful of sour cream to the sauce right before baking. This bake is also lovely with a side of buttery peas or roasted carrots.
