Learn how to make delicious ground beef mushroom recipe. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option)
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste

These ingredients reflect the kind of pantry staples I’ve always relied on to create meals that are both satisfying and full of flavor. Feel free to make substitutions based on what you have on hand—after all, flexibility is the key to stress-free cooking.
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 6-8 minutes. This step is crucial as it develops the deep, savory flavors that make this dish special.
- Push the mushroom mixture to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. This will help thicken the sauce, giving the dish that comforting, hearty texture.
- Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Remember, taste as you go—it’s a lesson I learned early on, after that infamous chili incident!
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired, and enjoy the comforting flavors that remind you of home.
