Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 10-ounce package white mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
One 15-ounce can low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups dried penne pasta
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking the beef into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, leaving behind any drippings, and reduce the heat to medium.
To the same skillet, add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to the bowl with the beef. Add the oil, paprika, garlic, carrot and onion to the skillet and cook until the carrots are soft and the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the tomato paste has toasted and is evenly coating the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, Worcestershire and 1 1/2 cups of water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and stir in the pasta. Cover and cook according to package directions until just al dente. Uncover, stir in the reserved beef and mushrooms and cook until heated through. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, chives and parsley until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

I found this in Better Homes and Gardens Low-Cost Cooking cookbook. I've had the cookbook for about 25 years and only recently discovered this recipe. It's one of those recipes that I make just about anytime because I always have the ingredients on hand and my family (especially my youngest son) loves it!

Tips:

Choose high-quality ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef (80/20 or 90/10) to ensure a flavorful and juicy patty.
Season the beef patties generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic burger flavor.
Cook the patties over medium heat: This allows the burgers to cook evenly without burning the outsides.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare burgers, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F; for medium burgers, cook to 145°F; and for well-done burgers, cook to 160°F.
Top the burgers with your favorite toppings: Classic options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and ketchup. Get creative and try different combinations to find your perfect burger.
Serve the burgers immediately: Freshly cooked burgers are the best burgers, so serve them as soon as they're done cooking.
