‘Beef Casserole’ was an eye-opening dish for me to learn. It is EASY to prepare if you have an oven, and a very comforting dish. My husband grew up with this type of dish, which is supposed to be served with Mashed Potato. It seemed there were popular casserole seasoning mixes, and my husband even introduced me an instant gravy powder, which I didn’t like. This is my ‘Beef Casserole’ that I have been cooking for many years. You don’t need any seasoning mix.
