Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 6 oz Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp butter for sautéing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish.
- Prepare the Hamburger Steaks: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Divide into four equal portions and shape into hamburger steaks, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Place in the greased casserole dish.
- Caramelize the Onions: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized, about 5 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the hamburger steaks in the casserole dish, followed by the sautéed mushrooms. Top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the hamburger steaks are cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For variety, try different cheeses like Swiss or cheddar, add red pepper flakes for heat, or substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. Sautéing minced garlic with the onions adds an extra layer of flavor.
