  • 3 cloves Garlic (use fresh garlic for best results)
  • 1 cup Beef Broth (chicken broth can be used for a lighter flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (essential for a savory kick)
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (adjust quantity for lower sodium versions)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard (complements the rich flavors)
  • 6 oz Swiss Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any melty cheese can be used as alternatives)
  • 1 cup Sour Cream (Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier option)
  • 4 pieces Hamburger Buns (gluten-free buns can be used for a gluten-free version)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Gather all your ingredients to ensure you have everything on hand before starting the cooking process.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even baking of the casserole.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute to release its flavor.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream to create a creamy consistency.
  6. Assemble Casserole: Cube the hamburger buns and layer them evenly in the bottom of a casserole dish. Pour the savory beef and mushroom mixture over the cubed buns, spreading it evenly.
  7. Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese evenly on top of the casserole. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Mushroom and Swiss Burger Casserole.
