Categories     Beef

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
1 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 lb chuck roast, medium grind
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp sour cream
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
1 tsp salt, kosher variety
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp white pepper, freshly ground
3/4 c cheddar cheese, freshly grated
4 slice provolone cheese
1 1/2 c dried bread cubes

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. I ground my roast to what is called a "chili" grind. Most packages of ground beef are of a finer grind, but I like mine a bit coarser. The actual type of grind you choose does not impact this recipe. So, if you want, just go out and pick up a pound of ground chuck.
  • 3. For my bread cubes, I just cut up some fresh bread, and dried them in a warm oven for about an hour.
  • 4. For this recipe I used an 8-inch (20cm) square baking dish.
  • 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 6. Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • 7. Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium heat.
  • 8. When the foaming subsides, add the onions, and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • 9. Add the garlic, and cook for about 60 seconds.
  • 10. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, cumin, sour cream, yellow mustard, and ketchup.
  • 11. Stir and cook until the meat is just brown, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  • 12. Take off heat, and allow to cool for about 10 - 15 minutes.
  • 13. Add the bread cubes to a baking dish.
  • 14. Stir in the cheddar cheese to the beef mixture, and place on top of the bread cubes.
  • 15. Add the provolone on the top.
  • 16. Place into the preheated oven, and bake until the casserole is heated through, and the cheese is nice and melty, about 20 - 22 minutes.
  • 17. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 18. Serve while nice and warm with a small salad. Enjoy.
  • 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

I'm not a huge fan of beef, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cheese and vegetables helped to balance out the flavor of the beef.

I was really excited to try this recipe but it was a bit of a let down. The beef was tough and the cheese was rubbery.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used ground turkey instead of beef. It turned out great.
