🍽️ Cream of Mushroom Smothered Beef Patties (Oven or Skillet)
🧾 Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
½ cup water or milk (optional, to thin the sauce)
Optional add-ins (pick what you like):
Sliced onions
Fresh or canned mushrooms
Garlic powder
Worcestershire sauce

🔥 Oven Method (super easy)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Form patties from ground beef. Season both sides with salt & pepper (and garlic powder if using).
Place patties in a baking dish (don’t overlap).
Mix soup + liquid (optional) and pour over patties. Add onions/mushrooms if using.
Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
Uncover & bake 10–15 more minutes until cooked through and bubbly.
Optional: Sprinkle cheese on top and bake 2–3 more minutes to melt.
🍳 Skillet Method (faster, more flavor)
Season & brown patties in a skillet (medium heat), 3–4 min per side.
Remove patties and drain extra grease (leave a little for flavor).
Add onions/mushrooms to the pan (optional) and sauté 2–3 min.
Stir in soup + ½ cup water or milk.
Return patties to skillet, cover & simmer 10–15 minutes until cooked through.
