1 cup beef broth

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

In a large casserole dish, layer the cubed hamburger buns at the bottom. Pour the beef mixture over the buns, spreading it evenly.

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the casserole and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
