INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 🧅 2 medium onions, minced
    • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • 2 slices Texas toast thick-sliced bread
    • ½ cup raisins
    • 1 tablespoon hot chutney
    • ½ tablespoon curry powder
    • 1 teaspoon apricot jam

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions until soft, approximately 2–3 minutes.

3

Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook and stir until browned, about 8–10 minutes.

4

Pour milk into a shallow dish. Soak bread in milk, then squeeze out excess and set milk aside.

5

Add soaked bread to the beef mixture. Stir in raisins, hot chutney, curry powder, apricot jam, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper.

6

Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 1 hour.

7

Whisk together reserved milk, egg, and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the beef in the baking dish. Lay a bay leaf on top.

8

Bake until the custard on top is golden brown, approximately 25–30 minutes. Remove from oven and discard the bay leaf before serving.
