🍲 Bring Ground Beef and Mushrooms Together in a Slow Cooker for a Hearty Favorite

There’s something magical about slow cooker meals—minimal prep, maximum flavor, and a warm, comforting dish waiting for you at the end of a busy day. One of the easiest (and most satisfying) combos you can make? Ground beef and mushrooms. When these two ingredients simmer together in your slow cooker, the result is a rich, savory, and hearty favorite that feels like home with every bite.

Whether you serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice, this dish is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser—perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prepping, or cozy weekends in.


🛒 What You’ll Need:

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 8 oz (225g) fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for umami kick)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch for thickening

🥄 How to Make It:

âś… Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed. While this step is optional, it adds great flavor and texture.

âś… Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker

Add the browned beef to your slow cooker along with the sliced mushrooms, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and beef broth. Give it a good stir to combine.

âś… Step 3: Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the mushrooms are tender and the flavors are beautifully melded.

âś… Step 4 (Optional): Thicken the Sauce

If you’d like a thicker, gravy-style sauce, mix 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving and let it cook until the sauce thickens.
