📦 Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80–90% lean)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for depth)

3. Deglaze & Simmer

- Add the cooked beef back to the pan.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and combined.
4. Add the Cheese

- Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit on low for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese melts.
