• 4 slices Gruyère cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re caramelized and golden brown.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Tip: Breaking the beef into small pieces as it cooks ensures even browning.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and onion mixture, stirring to combine. This will help thicken the sauce.
5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Tip: If the sauce seems too thick, add a little more broth to reach your desired consistency.
6. Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish. Top with the slices of Gruyère cheese, followed by the shredded mozzarella.
7. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crispy finish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Tip: For an extra crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.

Finally, this casserole emerges from the oven with a golden, crispy top hiding layers of savory beef, sweet onions, and molten Gruyère. Serve it straight from the dish for a family-style meal that’s sure to impress.
