Even though I'm a city boy , my co-workers have said I'm the most country city boy they have ever run across. Maybe that's because of the comforting, hearty recipes I share, like this ground beef dish. -Dale Thelen, Bedford, Texas Ingredients:
2 tablespoons milk |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs |
1 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 pound ground beef |
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
5 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup half-and-half cream |
1/2 to 3/4 cup water |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped green onions |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the milk, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into three or four oval patties. In a large skillet, cook patties over medium heat until no longer pink.
2. In another skillet, saute mushrooms and basil in 2 tablespoons butter until tender; drain. Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the cream, 1/2 cup water, pepper sauce and remaining salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Add enough remaining water to make a medium-thin sauce. Add reserved mushrooms; heat though. Serve over beef patties; top with cheese and onions. Yield: 3-4 servings.
