Ingredients:
INGREDIENTS | QUANTITIES |
---|---|
Lean ground beef | 1 pound |
Cream cheese | 6 ounces |
Eggs | 3 |
Sliced mushrooms | 5 cups |
Butter | 2 tablespoons |
Dried parsley | 1 teaspoon |
Salt and pepper | To taste |
Grated cheese (optional) | As desired |
Instructions:
-
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of lean ground beef until it browns. Season the beef with salt and pepper to add flavor. Once browned, set it aside.
-
- Prepare Creamy Mixture: Using a food processor, blend 6 ounces of cream cheese. Add 3 eggs one at a time, blending until a smooth mixture forms. Pour this creamy blend over the cooked ground beef and stir thoroughly to combine.
- Transfer to Casserole Dish: Place the ground beef and cream cheese mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 5 cups of sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften and turn golden brown. Optionally, add garlic for extra flavor. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt, dried parsley, and black pepper.
- Top with Mushrooms: Arrange the sautéed mushrooms on top of the hamburger and cream cheese mixture in the casserole dish. Optionally, add grated cheese on top for an extra cheesy touch.
-
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until it sets. Be cautious not to overcook; the goal is a golden-brown perfection.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Hamburger Mushroom Bake from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delightful dish with family and friends!
