Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or sausage.
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter For sautéing the onions.
- 2 tbsp flour Use gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked white rice Can substitute with brown rice for a healthier alternative.
- Dried parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until soft and golden, about 8–10 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer until thickened.
- Return ground beef to the pan and simmer in the gravy for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon over warm cooked rice and garnish with parsley.
Notes
You can serve the casserole directly from the skillet for a family-style meal. It pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. For extra flavor, add garlic to the onions while they are sautéing. If you like a little heat, add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the gravy.
