How to Make Salisbury Steak Casserole

This dish reminds me of my dad. He is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. He loves the original Salisbury steak recipe. I love how this one you can make it all in one pan. It makes prep and cleanup easy.

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, then heat a large, oven-safe, deep skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until mostly browned. It will finish cooking later.
2. Cook: Drain the fat and remove the cooked beef. Add the butter, diced onion, and mushrooms, then cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Combine: Add the garlic to the skillet, then cook for one minute. Whisk the flour into the melted butter and vegetables to create a paste.
4. Whisk: Slowly whisk in the beef broth to create a smooth gravy sauce.
5. Stir: Stir in the cooked meat, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar, then remove the skillet from heat.
6. Bake: Spread the potatoes evenly over the veggie and meat mixture, then top with the cubed butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown on top and the casserole is heated through. Remove from the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
