Instructions
- Blend the cream of mushroom soup and milk in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, catsup, and worcestershire sauce.
- Divide the beef mixture into 4 portions and shape each into a patty.
- Place 1/4 cup of stuffing in the center of each patty and draw the sides up to form a bowl shape.
- Place the filled patties in an ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or garlic to the ground beef mixture. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery soup if you prefer. If you want a healthier option, use lean ground turkey instead of beef. This dish can also be made with a different stuffing mix, such as Imitation Rice-A-Roni for a unique twist.
