by

I stole this recipe for Mushroom and Swiss Burger Casserole from thekitchenwife.net. This hearty casserole is perfect for fall. Mushrooms and onions are cooked in a skillet before garlic and seasonings are added. Then ground beef is added and cooked in the skillet. Cream of mushroom soup, heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce are added after the beef is cooked. Cooked dumplings or gnocchi are stirred before the mixture is placed in a casserole dish. Shredded cheese is sprinkled on top before baking. Another tasty casserole recipe!

Place a pan over medium high heat and add 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp oil. Then add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 1 diced onion. Cook for 5 minutes.

Next add 6 minced cloves of garlic and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add 1 lb lean ground beef to the skillet.

Break up the beef with a spatula and cook until brown and no longer pink. Then add 15 oz can cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup heavy cream and ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce. Stir and let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes.

Finally add 24 oz bag cooked mini potato dumplings or gnocchi.

Pour the beef mixture into to a greased 9×13 baking pan. Top with 2 cup shredded Swiss (or mozzarella) cheese.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes in a 350 F oven. Remove the foil and place under broiler for a few minutes to get bubbly and brown.
