Description
Savory mushroom cheeseburger casserole merges classic burger flavors with comforting casserole textures. Cheese-topped layers blend ground beef, mushrooms, and creamy sauce for hearty family satisfaction you’ll crave.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 1 cup (225 g) crumbled goat cheese
- 8 slices Swiss cheese, finely chopped
- 1 lb (454 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced scallions
- 1 tsp table salt
Instructions
- Oven Prepping: Ignite the oven to 375°F and position an 8×8-inch baking dish within reach for later assembly.
- Meat Transformation: In a large skillet, unleash ground beef with a salt sprinkle. Pulverize the meat into delicate crumbles while sizzling. As beef caramelizes, introduce sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until mushrooms shrink and liquid dissipates, concentrating the robust flavor profile.
- Layering Fusion: Migrate the aromatic beef-mushroom medley into the baking dish. Gently integrate goat cheese and two-thirds of Swiss cheese, ensuring thorough distribution. Cascade chopped scallions across the surface, then crown with remaining Swiss cheese. Smooth the top for uniform culinary landscape.
- Baking Finale: Glide the casserole into the heated oven. Bake uncovered until edges bubble and cheese liquefies, approximately 15 minutes. After extraction, allow a 5-minute flavor-melding rest. Slice into four hearty portions and serve immediately with rustic enthusiasm.
Notes
- Cheese Selection Matters: Choose fresh, high-quality goat and Swiss cheeses for richer, more complex flavor profiles that elevate the entire dish.
- Moisture Management: Cook mushrooms and beef thoroughly to reduce excess liquid, preventing a watery casserole and ensuring concentrated, robust taste.
- Even Crumbling Technique: Break ground beef into small, uniform pieces during cooking to guarantee consistent texture and proper meat distribution.
- Resting Period Importance: Allow casserole to rest 5 minutes after baking, which helps cheese set and makes cutting and serving much easier and cleaner.
