Hamburger Steak Skillet Casserole consists of a hearty ground beef mixture in a thick gravy with diced tomatoes covered with a layer of white cheddar mashed potatoes. It tastes like a southern hamburger steak or salisbury steak except in casserole form. It’s like a southern version of Shepherd’s Pie and it is so good.

One Pan Meal

This Hamburger Steak Skillet Casserole feeds at least 6 people and it reheats well. It’s so hearty and comforting. Perfect for a cold winter night and I love that everything is made in one pan.

Kitchen Tools Needed

You’ll want to use etiher a 12-inch cast iron pan or a 12-inch oven-safe pan to make this recipe.

How To Make Hamburger Steak Skillet Casserole

You’ll begin by browning 2 pounds of lean ground beef, a cup of chopped onion, and 2 (8-ounce) packages of cremini mushrooms that have been quartered. If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, just leave them out. You could add a little diced green bell pepper.

Next you’ll add garlic, salt, pepper, and dried thyme for seasoning. One quarter cup of flour gets added. It will help thicken the gravy.

Next add a can of diced tomatoes, a can of condensed French onion soup, a cup of beef broth, a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, parsley, and garlic powder. Let this mixture simmer 10 minutes. If needed, you can stop at this point and refrigerate the beef mixture overnight and proceed with the recipe the next day.

Next, boil some peeled and chopped Yukon Gold potatoes until soft. Mash them with butter, milk, and shredded white cheddar cheese. Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the ground beef mixture and broil for 3 to 5 minutes to get everything hot.

Recipe Notes

Leave the mushrooms out if you don’t like them or try using a cup of thawed frozen mixed veggies in their place.
If you want to spice this casserole up some, add half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Fresh thyme can be used in place of dried thyme. Use about 1 to 2 teaspoons. Or use rosemary in place of thyme.

How To Serve

This is a hearty and deliciously rich meal that’s best served with a green salad and maybe some Yeast Rolls. Also goes great with a side of green peas, Southern-Style Green Beans or Cracker Barrel Baby Limas.
