How often do you ask the question: What can I do with this package of ground beef (or turkey)? Instead of defaulting to boring burgers, try this Mushroom-Smothered Beef Burgers recipe. Brown the burgers and simmer in a rich and creamy mushroom gravy made with condensed mushroom soup, fresh mushrooms and Worcestershire. It's a burger that feels less like fast food and more like home cooking, especially if you serve it over hot cooked mashed potatoes or noodles. You can even make a few batches of Mushroom-Smothered Beef Burgers and freeze them for later- see the tip below for how.
Step 1
Season the beef with salt and pepper. Thoroughly mix the beef, 1/4 cup soup, bread crumbs, onion and egg in a large bowl. Shape the beef mixture firmly into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) burgers.
Step 2
Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until well browned on both sides (to prevent sticking- make sure the skillet is hot before adding the burgers). Remove the burgers from the skillet.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and heat the oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Stir the remaining soup, Worcestershire and water in the skillet and heat to a boil. Return the burgers to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the burgers are done. Serve the burgers with the mushroom gravy.
