Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced onion; cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add ground beef to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil; continue to cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until meat is browned and no longer pink.
  5. Stir in tomato sauce and cook for 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Grease a round 8-inch baking dish with butter.
  7. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  8. Spread the meat mixture over the cream cheese layer, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  10. Serve warm with crackers or your favorite dippers.
