Ingredients
Instructions
- Form ground beef into medium-sized, equally portioned patties and place them in a large baking dish.
- Cover the patties with a mixture of sliced carrots and cubed potatoes.
- Top the mixture with sliced onions.
- Pour Worcestershire sauce over the top until the mixture is nearly covered.
- Add 1/4 cup water to the dish.
- Cover the baking dish with foil wrap.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the ground beef is not overly compacted when forming patties to maintain juiciness. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. If you prefer a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce to the Worcestershire sauce. This dish is also reminiscent of other hearty meals like Hot And Hearty Stew.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this meal with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. It also pairs beautifully with Lazy Beef Casserole for a comforting dinner spread. For a refreshing contrast, consider a light vinaigrette salad alongside.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but be sure to cover them to avoid drying out.
