Let's Get Started!  

INGREDIENTS

For this Mushroom and Swiss Burger Casserole Recipe you will need a few simple ingredients:

• 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
• 1 24 oz Bag of mini potato dumplings (or tater tots)
• 8 oz of Baby Portobello Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 Onion, diced
• 6 cloves of Garlic, minced
• 1 15 oz can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 c Heavy Cream
• 1/4 c Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 c Swiss Cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:  Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).  Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2:  Prepare and Cook the Vegetables

Slice the mushroom, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.  Add 2 Tbsp of butter to a skillet and place over medium-high heat.  When the butter is melted add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for 5-10 minutes.  The mushrooms should be golden brown and the onions clear and translucent.

Step 3:  Cook the Beef

In the same skillet you prepared the vegetables in, cook the ground beef until browned.  Drain and excess fat by using a paper towel in the pan to soak up the grease.  

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Add the can of cream of mushroom to the skillet with the meat and vegetables.  Add the Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream as well.  Stir everything together until smooth and creamy.  

Step 5:  Cook the Dumplings

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato dumplings according the to directions on the packaging.  

Step 6:  Assemble the Casserole

Once the dumplings have finished cooking drain them and add to the greased casserole dish.  Pour the sauce over the dumplings and stir everything together in the baking dish.  

Step 7:  Add the Topping

Grate the Swiss cheese and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.  I recommend using a block of Swiss cheese and grating it yourself.  This will give you the best melt.  

Step 8:  Bake and Brown

Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the 350° oven for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes, remove the foil and place under the broiler for a few minutes to allow the cheese to get brown and bubbly. 

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT CASSEROLE:

• Substitutions for the Dumplings:  I realize these dumplings are difficult to find in some areas so here are some options I have used that turn out just as delicious.  Tate-Tots, Gnocchi, and even Egg Noodles.
• Mushroom Variety:  Feel free to use a mix of mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or button mushrooms for added depth of flavor.
• Make Ahead:  This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated.  Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time of cooking from cold.  
• Add Vegetables:  For a more balanced meal, consider adding some chopped spinach or bell peppers to the beef and mushroom mixture.  

This Mushroom and Swiss Burger Casserole is the perfect blend of classic burger flavors and comforting casserole goodness.  Easy to make and absolutely delicious, it's sure to become a family favorite!

Whether you're feeding a crowd or looking for a cozy dinner option, this recipe is a winner.  Try it out and enjoy the taste of a gourmet burger in a convenient, bake-and-serve format!
