Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to the hamburger mixture. If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute it with cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce. For a healthier twist, use ground turkey or chicken instead of hamburger. If you like a bit of spice, adding diced jalapeños can give it a nice kick.
