Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 lb ground beef (about 85% lean)
  • 0.75 cup crushed crackers
  • 0.25 cup beaten egg
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce for the beef mixture
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt for the beef mixture
  • 1 tsp black pepper for the beef mixture
  • 4.5 cup thinly sliced russet potatoes
  • 2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for tossing vegetables
  • 2 tbsp melted butter for the baking dish and dotting
  • 1.25 cup condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1.5 cup beef broth
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce for the gravy
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard optional, for depth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tbsp melted butter.
  • Toss sliced potatoes and onions with olive oil. Spread evenly in the prepared dish and dot with remaining butter.
  • Whisk soup, broth, 2 tsp Worcestershire, Dijon, and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Set the gravy aside.
  • Combine beef, crushed crackers, beaten egg, milk, 1 tbsp Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Form six oval patties about 3/4 inch thick. Sear in a hot skillet 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
  • Nestle browned patties over the potato-onion layer. Pour the gravy evenly over everything.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more, until potatoes are tender and beef is cooked through.
  • Rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Variation: Add 1–2 cups sliced mushrooms with the onions, or swap cream of chicken soup for a lighter flavor. For make-ahead, assemble up to Step 6, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add 5–10 minutes to the bake time. Leftovers keep well refrigerated 3–4 days and reheat nicely at 325°F.
