Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or mayonnaise)
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1/4 cup for topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, plus 1/2 cup for topping
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (optional)
- 1 tbsp plain breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and sauté the finely chopped onion until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and it evaporates, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream (or mayonnaise), salt, black pepper, and optional garlic and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
- Add the cooked ground beef, sautéed mushroom and onion mixture, most of the grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
- Spoon the dip mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and reserved Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden brown. Optionally, broil for the last minute for a deeper golden crust.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve with dippers like crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable sticks.
