🍄🔥 Creamy Mushroom & Ground Beef Bake – Hearty, Cheesy & Weeknight Ready! 🧀🍽
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
½ cup sour cream
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp thyme (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Optional for serving: cooked egg noodles, rice, or cauliflower rice
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5–6 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, paprika, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
Serve over cooked noodles, rice, or enjoy on its own for a low-carb, comforting meal.
