We will need:
- 4 eggs
- 2 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 lb ground beef
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Packets dry onion soup mix
Directions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, mixing in one packet of dry onion soup mix until the meat is thoroughly browned. After cooking, drain the excess fat from the meat and stir in the remaining packet of onion soup mix and half of the cheese.
Transfer the seasoned meat into a casserole dish that’s been prepped with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the meat.
In a different bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, mayonnaise, eggs, and a dash of ground black pepper. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth. Pour this creamy blend over the beef and cheese layers in the dish.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake it for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top turns a delicious golden brown.
To serve, add a small dollop of yellow mustard and a pickle slice on top of each portion to enhance the flavor, mimicking the classic White Castle burger style.
FAQs:
Can I substitute the ground beef with another type of meat in this White Castle Burger Casserole recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the ground beef with another type of ground meat such as turkey, chicken, or pork. This change can alter the flavor profile slightly, but it will still deliver a delicious casserole. Just ensure that the meat is thoroughly browned and drained well to prevent the casserole from becoming too greasy.
What is the purpose of the mayonnaise and heavy whipping cream in the casserole?
The mayonnaise and heavy whipping cream mixture plays a crucial role in this casserole. It adds richness and creaminess to the dish, helping to bind the ingredients together. Furthermore, this combination helps to create a smooth and velvety texture that complements the hearty meat and cheese layers.
Is it necessary to drain the hamburger meat after browning?
Yes, it is essential to drain the hamburger meat after browning. This step helps to remove excess fat, which can make the casserole greasy. Moreover, draining the fat ensures a better texture and flavor concentration in the final dish, especially after adding the other ingredients.
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes, this casserole can be prepared ahead of time. You can assemble the casserole up to the point of baking and then cover and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, simply bake it in the preheated oven for the recommended time. This makes it a convenient option for meal planning or for preparing a meal for a busy day ahead.
How can I tell when the casserole is perfectly cooked?
The casserole is perfectly cooked when the top is golden brown and the edges start to bubble. Additionally, you can insert a knife in the center of the casserole; if it comes out clean, the eggs and cream have set, and the casserole is ready to be taken out of the oven.
