Creamy Mushroom Crispy Burger Steak with Broccoli

We're on our 3rd day of the kids' First Quarter exams, that's why I've been MIA on social media lately. Aside from this, I also have a lot of deadlines to meet. Ugh, so many things to do, so little time! Then here comes the struggle of thinking about what to cook. It has always been my struggle, let alone in times like these. I tried planning our weekly menu, it was okay but, most days hindi rin nasusunod. Hehe. So what I do is I stock up on easy to cook food like chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and one of the kids favorite, especially Tristan- CDO Ulam Burger and the CDO Crispy Burger.

The kids eat it as is. I just make a dip or sauce or cook soup. Viola, instant meal! But since I have extra time today, I whipped up something special to also motivate the kids on their exams. I cooked Creamy Mushroom Crispy Burger Steak- it's super easy to cook and kids' approved! 

Let me share with you how I cooked it.
