1. Layer Beef and Crackers: Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the layer of crackers in the baking dish. The juices from the beef will soak into the crackers, creating a flavorful base.
2. Add Eggs and Milk: Crack two eggs directly over the ground beef mixture. Pour the whole milk over the eggs and beef, ensuring it covers the mixture evenly. The eggs and milk mixture will set during baking, binding the ingredients together and creating a creamy texture.
3. Optional Cheese: If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the beef mixture before adding the milk. Cheese will add a delightful gooeyness and extra flavor to the casserole.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
1. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden brown. The casserole should be firm and not jiggly when done.
2. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This resting time helps the casserole set and makes it easier to cut into portions.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this ground beef and milk casserole with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete and balanced meal. You can also top it with shredded cheese and fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
