I think the problem some people had with rising was because I was taught to use a metal baking pan for yorkshire puds, preferably cast iron for the heat retention; and it has to be hot, hot, hot before you add the batter. Also, if you don't drain the fat from the meat and use that instead of adding butter to the batter you will get a more meaty flavor. I sauteed my veggies til they were almost soft, then browned the meat in my cast iron frying pan, then popped the pan into the oven until it was good and hot before I added the batter. My Yorkie rose so high it almost crawled out of the pan!

Well first of all, it tasted great, but I did things a little different. First of all I cooked the beef first because usually when you make yorkshire you are supposed to bake right away, never set aside batter! I sauteed beef, onions, celery, and carrots. Added to it about 2 tbsp each HP sauce and Tony Romas Bold n spicy bbq sauce, Also about 1 tbsp beef oxo. When ready I whipped together the yorkshire mix, with a wisk (not a mixer) and layered the beef and pudding mix in a large rectangle pyrex, this way the yorkshire isn't burning on top and runny in the middle, or sunken into the beef. It actually nicely coated around the beef mix like a quiche almost, and the top had about 10 little peaks of golden brown yorkshire. Something is still off a bit, and there should be more rising done, but overall, the family was satisfied with the taste and texture, done this way. Next time I think I'll add corn too, it is kind of like sheperds pie when you have no potatoes in the house!

My husband loved this! Loved it! I made it using my extra large iron skillet and the Yorkshire mixture rose as expected - it was beautiful! I did add two tablespoons of our favorite BBQ sauce (honey mesquite) which enhanced the flavor a lot. This one is a keeper for us.

I made this recipe and it was delicious. I added 1 cup beef broth and 1/2 can of diced tomatoes and 1/2 cup diced onions and 2 garlic cloves grated. I saute'ed the onion and garlic, then added ground beef and browned the meat , then added Worcestershire sauce and Steak sauce, also salt and pepper. I then added tomatoes, carrots and celery, and beef broth and then simmered until all the liquid had reduced down. I then prepared the Yorkshire pudding mixture according to the recipe. Then I put the meat mixture in a metal baking pan that had been heated in the oven before. I packed the meat tightly together and flattened it, then poured Yorkshire pudding mixture on top and baked for 55 minutes in oven. The Yorkshire pudding rose but did fall down when it came out of the oven, but it was still delicious.

Easy to make but definitely needs more flavor. Perhaps if one were to increase the amount of steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce...

I like this idea. But I just had to review this before I had a go at it ,I'm married to a Yorkshireman, and if I gave him Yorkies cooked this way he would have a fit!!! Firstly no raising agent is used in real Yorkies, all purpose flour, yes, but only one egg with one cup. finally the oven needs to be stupidly hot, at least 200, this is why some reviews are upset by lack of rise, 175 will never make good puffy Yorkshire puddings.

I really enjoyed this recipe. So did my 1 year old and ten year old. I added mushrooms to it and sprinkled a little more a1 sauce after we sat down to eat. It does seem more like a quiche but I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be. Either way, I like the carrots and think that next time I'll add some peas or green beans and maybe some green pepper. I enjoyed it.

Very good recipe for Yorkshire but found the beef mixture bland. Try adding 1/ 2 of a pkg of Onion soup mix to your favorite gravy mixture then the mixture of beef and make it a gravy...always nice to pour over the yorkies!

Did not open oven door, but top still didn't raise. It just sunk down into the meat mixture, and kind of ended up tasting a little "eggy". I agree that the steak sauce could have been increased, although the flavor of the meat mixture was good. I put my celery & carrots in with the burger & onions while browning to start them cooking. I was afraid 45 minutes in oven would not cook them fully. I was right, even with the precooking, they were still a little underdone. Overall not bad though.
05/11/2011
Would be good with pepperoni, pizza sauce and any other pizza toppings that you like. That's just what I think but good recipe as is too.
02/01/2011
Loved this! Big hit with the family!!
01/20/2009
The taste is good but the pudding mixture just sank into the ground beef and did not rise.
11/07/2009
Just made this for the first time (and probably the last) for dinner tonight. I increased the onion and celery and added some Montreal Steak Seasonings to the ground beef mixture. The taste wasn't too bad but the texture was awful. The topping did not rise "tall" like the recipe said. It sank into the meat and made it kind of quiche like. BTW, I dind't open the oven door while it was cooking so that wasn't the problem. Not worth the effort or ingredients.
10/04/2011
Fairly easy to put together, and my whole family liked it. I had to throw the batter into my blender b/c the melted butter solidified when I added the cold milk, so I would suggest letting the milk come to room temp first. This was exactly what I had in mind when I was looking for recipes for dinner tonight.
10/11/2009
A hearty dish to make with things you have on hand, more s&p recommended. Don't open the oven door to peek and topping will not drop.
02/15/2011
I really enjoyed this recipe and so did my family! It will go into the circuit!

Made this for my Dad because I don't eat meat. He said the meat had a good flavor so gave that a slightly higher rating. The problem was the Yorkshire. Let me start by saying I make popovers (basically the same as Yorkshire pudding) often and always successfully. The trick is to make sure everything you use is as warm as possible. Ingredients should be room temp if not warmer. Oven should be HOT, so should the pan you are putting the ingredients in. The higher the temp of everything you are using, the better your rise will be (there really is a science to it that I won't get into here). Despite my experience, I could not get this dough to rise. I actually had the oven at 425 and would recommend 450. Make sure that the hamburg is HOT when you pour the batter on. Using individual popover pans (or cupcake pans, or ramekins) might encourage more rise also. In any case, there was not enough hamburg to balance the batter so it just got suspended in the batter and made a doughy popover with bits of hamburg in it. See my photo. My Dad rarely gives my dishes a rating below an 8 and his comment on this was "you can't nail it every time". I did taste the dough and we both agreed it was too dense and eggy. My Dad wound up picking the hamburg out of it. Just not good. Sorry, I wish I had a better review, I had big hopes for this one! Thanks for posting anyway.

I thought this recipe was absolutely delicious as did my 3 kids and my husband! I added a little more A1 and some garlic powder to my meat, and left in the oven for an additional 10 mins. It was amazing! I will be making this again!
06/23/2012
This was really good even my very picky son liked it.
01/20/2014
Just finished eating this and it was great! I used my square baking stone pan and it turned out perfect. It was also fast and easy!
03/27/2013
Okay, here's what you do... You pre-fry the onions, celery and carrots with a little olive oil and garlic salt until the onions are translucent. Then, you add this mixture to the cooked ground beef; then add your Worchestershire and A1 sauce and stir. Then cover with your Yorkshire pudding mixture and bake in the oven. I guarantee it will not be bland.
12/19/2019
I made it almost exactly like the the instructions but I forgot to saute the onions with the meat, I just added them raw, so I cooked it an extra 5 minutes. It turned out perfect. The top was brown, it rose like it was supposed to, the moisture content was perfect. We loved it, very good dish!
03/18/2015
Great recipes that can easily be tailored to your tastes
03/13/2013
A new family Favorite. The carrots add a nice sweetness.
10/01/2012
This was a great base BUT I found that you need a gravy with it because it was some what dry.... I added a large can of cream of mushroom soup with like a 1/4 cup of milk to the left overs and it was wonderful.... Next time gonna try with brown gravy or onion/mushroom gravy to it
03/24/2015
Loved this. And it was equally as good the second day
02/23/2017
I skipped the carrots (for my man). I'll cook this a lot! Julie K.
11/16/2017
exceeded my expectations. Great blend of vegetables and beef and a quiche like casserole .
04/06/2016
Was not sure what to expect never had Yorkshire pudding before I must say it was pretty tasty will have to try it again with some improvisions
04/27/2016
It was very good! My first Yorkshire. With meat. 2 changes made were no celery because husband doesn't like it tho I used celery salt, and I made meat mixture before the pudding mixture. I feel that is the problem some are having getting it to rise. I'm thinking of trying some different variations in seasonings. I will definitely try again! ( I did not press my meat mixture into pan so pudding filled in around meat. But it got nice and fluffy!)
06/26/2016
It was okay but will probably not make again. Seemed to be a little dry.
08/31/2017
I have been using an old english recipe for 40 years and have always made batter the night before and left it in fridge...have never had it fail ; always rises so high
06/15/2013
I make this regularly. I use a cast iron pan to brown my meat and onion and usually just use a frozen mixed veg to add to meat mix. Then I make the pudding batter. I pat the meat down well so there aren't open spaces, pour the batter right over the meat in the cast iron and pop it in the oven. It rises well every time.
05/27/2020
Loved this!! I browned the beef along with the vegetables and added garlic. I followed suggestions of adding more of the A1 and Worcestershire and some Montreal seasoning. I pressed the cooked meat mixture into the dish (I only had glass) and heated it in the oven a few minutes before pouring in the batter. Turned out great!!

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I had always wanted to make Yorkshire pudding since I tasted it years ago at a Renaissance Faire. I did make some changes after reading other reviews. I did not drain the beef and instead added 2 T four, 1 cup hot water and a beef boullion cube to make a sauce; seasoned with dried basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Also, I used ½ cup red bell pepper instead of the carrots, and increased the Worcestershire sauce to 2 tablespoons (did not have steak sauce). To make sure the pudding rose I brought eggs to room temperature, warmed the milk and used a pre-heated 8x8 inch aluminum pan. Hubby loved it, and I will definitely be making it again. Yummy and such good comfort food!
06/30/2018
I read the other reviews and they're certainly right about following the classic rules of Yorkshire pudding: room temp ingredients, whisk it at the last moment and a Hot oven! I also added some beef broth and steak spice to the hamburger and sautéed onion and garlic first. I will make it again with the modifications.
03/24/2015
Family loved it but for those of us that like more flavor we added franks Red hot sauce or more A1 to it after the meal is plated
09/18/2015
I used Pamela's gluten free mix instead of the flour, baking soda, and salt because we are gluten intolerant. This was very tasty tho I had to add seasonings to the meat mixture... The recipe would have been very bland. I also added Parmesan cheese to the topping batter.
04/01/2019
Great meal but needs more hamburger. I found most of it mixed in with the Yorkshire. A definite do over!
09/21/2013
i liked it!with all the changes recommended (cast iron skillet,precook veggies, and double the steak sauce) very good
05/15/2013
Very yummy!Especially if youre looking for a homey meal. I took the tip on cooking it in my cast iron pan and the Yorkshire rose beautifully. Substituted olive oil for butter and also used half of beef bouillon.
10/20/2017
This needs gravy. By the time the Yorkshire pudding was done, my beef mixture was very dry underneath.
10/25/2019
Great recipe. I cut the ingredients in half for just my wife and I. I bake it in Pyrex and it's always perfect.
02/10/2015
Just made this tonight, i eyeballed a lot of it. Had very little rise I'm sure due to doubling the recipe and using a pyrex pan, but still delicious. Will make again thank you.
10/27/2013
Very easy and delicious. A welcomed relief from the regular...
03/10/2019
I made this tonight-first time ever had Yorkshire anything. I would make it again, but it needs a little more kick in flavor. I did not use carrots or celery, but everything else was the same. I'm guessing the celery gives off more taste, but they can sometimes overpower a dish.
03/07/2022
Very good and easy to make.
08/26/2021
This was good enough to update my password so I could leave a review. I like to make things to taste a bit, so I did add garlic powder and a little vegetable better than bullion base (1 tsp total...would have done beef base but didn't have). I also made the beef mix first and then started to pre-heat the oven and mixed up the Yorkshire pudding batter. I used an emersion blender to get the batter mixed & smooth. I used 8x8 tin pans (doubled the recipe) and I greased them and put in the oven while it was pre-heating then pulled them out & added followed recipe directions. What I love about this is it's simple and absolutely delicious. We like cottage pie, but this was a nice alternative and MUCH easier. I also made gravy because Yorkshire puddings and gravy = yum. The kids and adults loved this. Will definitely make again.
03/09/2014
Just made it and it was delicious!! Didn't put as much salt as it calls for just because it seemed like a lot. Also made a bit of gravy because you can't have yorkshires with it!
03/02/2015
Very tasty! I did change a few things. I cooked the veggies with the beef and added a shot (or two) of Tabasco and about a teaspoon of dried basil. I pressed the beef so the Yorkshire would stay on top. Next time I make this I will add something to keep the beef together. My husband says to skip the Tabasco next time.
10/23/2013
I made this in a 9-inch pie plate. I thought the flavor was okay, but would add more seasonings next time. I added 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and did not have a problem with my dough rising. I think next time I will decrease the flour to 3/4 cup and the milk to 1 cup.
05/15/2020
I followed the recipe, using 2T BBQ sauce & 1T Better Than Bouillon Beef to add flavor. As suggested I cooked the meat in a cast iron skillet, heated the skillet and mixed the topping as the last step before baking. The topping cooked evenly and turned out great. I thought the ground beef was a little dry. Next time I might try stirring a little water in with the bouillon & add that to the meat before baking. My husband doesn't care much for breads or pie crust, but he gobbled this right up & said he would eat it again. Overall, I thought it was a tasty, rather unusual dish, that took very little effort. I will make it again.
02/22/2014
It was decent. Good parts are that it rose well, was a little crisp at the top edges like baked mashed potatoes and the texture was interesting. Bad parts (to me anyway), it was bland overall. I added more spice to the meat. Also will add something, perhaps cream cheese to the pudding part as that was bland too. I ended up with sriracha on it (and will be considering a sriracha cream cheese pudding or at least a layer of cream cheese before the pudding? for next time haha :) I would also reduce the butter as it had a pool of grease on the top in the middle. It did get absorbed back into the pudding when I let it cool a little, but it said to serve immediately and it didn't look appetizing! This might have happened because I used a round tall dish, not sure. Will try a long one next time! Overall good. I had seconds :)
01/31/2015
This meal was a huge hit with all five of my kids and my husband. It was nice and simple to make and clean up was a breeze. I chose to add broccoli in place of the carrots and celery. I didn't have any A1 steak sauce on hand so I threw in ground mustard, worcestershire, dry mustard, dried parsley,salt and pepper. By setting the serving size to feed 8, I was able to have two 9x11 casserole dish meals. This recipe is going into my regular family meals for sure.
04/02/2018
To haven't made ltyetno
03/26/2013
I made this and it didn't rise at all and was really greasy despite draining the beef.
03/22/2022
Made a large batch, used ketchup, malt vinegar, and spices to substitute A-1. Turned out great.
01/24/2022
Great recipe. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
08/22/2014
I used people's tips when it came to the Yorkshire pudding (ingredients room temp, cook @ 400, etc). However, did my own thing w/ground beef. I did mexican...taco season like instructions on pack & added salsa & corn...delicious!!!!
10/24/2016
It was okay but seemed to be lacking something. Next time I will add a cup of shredded cheese & see if that helps.
01/09/2019
Flavorful and simple to make. I've made this 2 or 3 times now and it's a nice change up to our regular meal line up.
04/18/2018
We'd never had this type of dish before and it reminds me of dinner quiche. Very tasty flavor, but the texture is a little different. Would make again!
03/09/2020
Although the flavor was a little light, my husband enjoyed the meal. I did cook it as 400f instead of 350 as one of the comments suggested and it came out as it should with the raise just right.
07/22/2014
Delicious! I added a bit more Worcestershire sauce and a little less butter.
01/12/2019
Pudding was nice and moist, not too cakey and kept the meat from drying out while baking. I used Chipotle BBQ sauce and it gave the meat mixture a nice kick. I will definitely make this recipe again, adding more veggies like peas and mushrooms to balance out the meat.
01/25/2015
Took advice from other commenters, used a cast iron skillet. Turned out great but next time I will add some gravy or something with the beef to add some moisture and extra flavor.
03/16/2018
Turned out great
07/17/2013
Not too good
09/10/2012
Very easy to make, and very tasty, filling. Nice all in one hot meal.
01/17/2018
Easier than I expected and turned out great. I normally don't do well with things that "rise", but no problems. Used bison instead of lean beef and highly recommend it. (Less grease to deal with the better.) Also added diced radishes just because I had them. Used glass pyrex baking dish and pudding rose beautifully. Flavor would seem to be driven by your choice of steak sauce. I used Heinz 57 and ketchup and enjoyed it. Will definitely make again.
03/07/2014
This was just so-so for my family. I think it could have used more meat. I made it as directed and ended up adding minced garlic, and nature season. Also added some bullion, flour and milk and made a light gravy to give it some moisture. It came out just right, guess it's just not to our taste. Thank you for sharing.
11/09/2014
Loved it. Cooked the veggies with the meat in a cast iron skillet, added the "batter" and put the hot skillet in the oven. I don't think it would have turned out so well without the cast iron or something comparable. It's the same principle when making a cobbler. Without the already heated cast iron the bread does not cook right.
12/17/2019
Excellent, I didn't have carrots or steak sauce so I substituted acorn squash and greens and it was fantastic, quick and easy.
