What You’ll Need
- Ground beef. Brown 1½ pounds in a skillet, breaking it into bite-size crumbles. Drain off excess grease before adding the soup.
- Condensed cream of mushroom soup. Stir it into the beef straight from the can for a thick, creamy sauce.
- Shredded cheddar cheese. Scatter 2 cups evenly over the beef. Sharp cheddar gives the topping a stronger cheese flavor.
How to Make Beef Gallagher
Stir the condensed soup into the cooked beef until the crumbles are evenly coated. Spread the mixture into a lightly greased medium glass casserole dish and sprinkle the cheddar over the top.
Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. The casserole is ready when the edges are bubbling and the cheddar is fully melted with a few golden spots. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the sauce settles before you scoop it out.
