Newport Beef Casserole

This week's Family Night Dinner Idea recipe is Newport Beef Casserole! This recipe comes from McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection (1973), Party Casseroles.



When my daughter and I started cooking this yummy dish she barked at the ingredients. This casserole has two ingredients she despises: mushrooms and spinach. I told her, "Well, you picked the card!" She looked at the recipe and picture and as she began to smell the wondrous aroma, she decided she would try eating it.



This casserole goes together rather easily. However, the initial preparation and cooking takes some time. Not only do you have to chop and dice, you must brown and simmer. Okay, you have to do this with a lot of recipes, but I would ensure you have at least two and a half hours before you plan to serve dinner because of the simmer time.

When this dish came out of the oven we were amazed by how good it looked. The Newport Beef Casserole is a definite do over in this house, despite the mushrooms and spinach. The teen decided those ingredients are not too bad after all.
