This savory cheeseburger casserole is a delightful twist on the classic cheeseburger pie, offering a hearty and flavorful meal perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your casserole.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, green pepper, and onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the tomato sauce, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the surface for an even topping.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and half of the shredded cheese.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth and creamy mixture.
Pour the topping mixture evenly over the beef mixture in the baking dish.
Pour slowly to cover the entire surface without disturbing the base.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Combine the chili sauce with a bit of water to thin it slightly, and serve alongside the casserole.
Warming the sauce slightly enhances its flavor and makes it easier to drizzle.
Slice the casserole into portions and serve warm with the prepared sauce. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh and vibrant touch.
