Hamburger
A comforting American-style dish featuring seasoned hamburger patties simmered in savory mushroom soup, perfect for a hearty, family-friendly meal with rich flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Make hamburger into patties.
- Coat the patties with flour and brown lightly in oil.
- Add mushroom soup to the skillet and simmer for about 15 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the flour before coating the patties. If you prefer a lighter option, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. To enhance the dish, try adding Worcestershire sauce to the hamburger mix. If you're out of golden mushroom soup, cream of mushroom soup can be a suitable substitute.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the hamburger patties over rice or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal. A side of green beans or a fresh salad pairs well with this dish, balancing the richness of the mushroom soup. For a more filling option, consider serving alongside 3 Baked Bean Hot Dish or Deviled Macaroni Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, covered to retain moisture.
