Ingredients

• 5 cups sliced mushrooms (Cremini, button, or shiitake)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan) – optional

Preparation Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
3. In a food processor, blend softened cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Mix with the cooked ground beef.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter and cook sliced mushrooms until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes.
5. Spread the beef and cream cheese mixture in the casserole dish. Top with sautéed mushrooms and optional grated cheese.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is lightly browned and set.
7. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve warm with vegetables or salad.

Tips and Conclusion

For extra flavor, mix shredded cheese directly into the ground beef or cream cheese mixture.

Add chopped onions or bell peppers to the beef for added texture and taste.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
