Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef while cooking. If you're out of ground beef, ground turkey or chicken can be a great substitute. You can also use cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom soup for a different twist. Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance the dish's flavor profile.
