Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle ground round beef and chopped onion with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Bake in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes, then drain and remove from the oven.
- In a bowl, beat together 1 egg, milk, and mayonnaise until well combined.
- Stir in flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked ground beef and onion.
- Bake at 400°F for an additional 30 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs like thyme to the beef and onion mixture. If you're out of mayonnaise, Greek yogurt can be a great substitute for creaminess. You can also use whole wheat flour instead of regular flour for a healthier option. If you want a heartier dish, try incorporating vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers into the mix, similar to a Beef-Stuffed Cabbage Leaves.
Serving Suggestions
This Easy Yorkshire Dinner is delicious on its own but can be complemented with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for added crunch. Consider pairing it with creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. A drizzle of gravy or a dollop of sour cream can also enhance the flavors. It pairs beautifully with Hungarian Stew With Noodles if you're looking for a full spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for quicker reheating, but the oven method helps maintain the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
Yes, ground turkey is a great alternative if you're looking for a leaner option. It will still provide a tasty base for the dish, though the flavor may be milder. Make sure to season it well to enhance the taste, and keep an eye on the cooking time as turkey can cook faster.
What can I do if my mixture is too runny?
If your egg mixture seems too runny, you can add a bit more flour to thicken it up. Start with a tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly until you achieve the desired consistency. Alternatively, you can let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
Is this dish suitable for freezing?
Yes, this dish can be frozen! After baking, let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before placing it in an airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake at 350°F until warmed through.
