Best Ways to Serve Creamy Mushroom Beef

This rich gravy is perfect for pairing with something that can soak it up.

Try serving it over:

• Mashed potatoes
• Egg noodles
• Steamed white rice
• Buttered pasta

For a balanced meal, add a simple green vegetable such as:

• Roasted broccoli
• Sautéed green beans
• Steamed asparagus

A slice of crusty bread is also perfect for soaking up the extra gravy.

Easy Variations and Helpful Tips

This recipe is delicious as written, but it’s also easy to customize.

Add More Mushrooms

For deeper flavor, add 1–2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms over the beef before pouring on the soup mixture.

Add Herbs

Stir 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning into the sauce for extra flavor.

Make the Sauce Creamier

At the end of baking, stir in 2 tablespoons sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for extra richness.

Lower the Sodium

Replace one can of soup with low-sodium beef broth and reduce the water slightly.

Slow Cooker Option

You can also make this recipe in a slow cooker.

Simply:

1. Place the raw beef in the crockpot.
2. Mix the soup, onion mix, and water.
3. Pour over the beef.

Cook:

Until the beef is tender.

Make It a One-Dish Meal

Good options include:

• Sliced mushrooms
• Diced onions

Spread them in an even layer so everything cooks evenly.
