- Form the mixture into patties.
- Brown the patties in a skillet on both sides using Pam or water.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute it with cream of celery soup or make a homemade version with sautéed mushrooms, cream, and broth. Ensure the patties are evenly sized for consistent cooking. For a lighter option, swap ground beef for ground turkey.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the burger patties over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce, which pairs beautifully with American recipes. Consider a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. You can also top with cheese or serve on a bun for a comforting twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth to keep them moist, covering the skillet until heated through. You can also microwave them on medium power for 1-2 minutes.
