Easy Cream of Mushroom Soup Over Hamburger Patties (Best Comfort Food Dinner)

• 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup

• 1 cup beef broth (or milk for extra creaminess)

• ½ cup sour cream (optional, for extra richness)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

For Serving:

• Mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles

• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

The Method: Form, Brown, Simmer, Devour

Step 1: Make the Patties

In a large bowl, combine:

• Ground beef

• Breadcrumbs

• Egg

• Onion

• Salt

• Pepper

• Garlic powder

• Worcestershire sauce

Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overmix. Shape into 4-6 oval patties, about ¾-inch thick.

Step 2: Brown the Patties

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Brown for 3-4 minutes per side, until deeply golden. The patties don’t need to be cooked through—they’ll finish in the gravy.

Remove patties to a plate and set aside.
