If there’s anything that says grade-A comfort food better than a bacon cheeseburger-inspired bake, we don’t know what it is. This family-friendly casserole is a fun, easy, and inexpensive way to serve dinner for a crowd (the recipe is easily doubled or tripled). Feel free to swap the American cheese slices for whatever type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or Swiss.

  • Add onions to skillet with remaining drippings over medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 mintues. Stir in ketchup and mustard; remove from heat.

  • Spread beef mixture in bottom of a lightly greased 3-quart baking dish. Top with caramelized onions and crumbled bacon. Arrange cheese slices over bacon.

  • Toss bun cubes in reserved bacon drippings, and place in an even layer over cheese slices. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake in preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
