French Beef Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Heat the oil in a skillet, and cook and stir the ground beef, onion, and green pepper over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the meat is crumbly and no longer pink and the onion is translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the condensed mushroom soup. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Scoop the cheese sauce into a microwaveable bowl, and melt on low power for about 30 seconds.
• Place the ground beef mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, and spread an even layer of the melted cheese sauce over the ground beef. Top with frozen shoestring fries. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the fries are starting to turn golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 deg. Celsius.
• Heat half the oil in a flameproof casserole over medium-high heat.
• Add the beef in batches and cook, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides. Set aside, and repeat the meat-browning process in 2 batches. Set aside each time.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add the remaining oil. Add the bacon, onion and garlic and cook until the onion softens.
• Add the wine, and stir the bottom of the dish well, making sure to dislodge any bits which may have cooked onto the bottom of the dish.
• Add the beef, tomato puree, stock, Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce, bay leaves and mushrooms. Cover and bake in oven for 1 ½ hours, or until beef is tender.
• Uncover, and cook for another 15 minutes or until the liquid has reduced slightly.
• Remove from oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Serve casserole straight from the dish topped with the parsley.
• Serve mashed potatoes separately.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl; transfer to an ungreased 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 375° for 60-70 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
