Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Patties:
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean/fat)
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ketchup or mustard (optional)
  • For the Mushroom Gravy:
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp thyme (dried or fresh)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently (do not overwork). Shape into 4 oval patties.
  2. Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté onions and mushrooms until softened (5 mins). Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Thicken the Gravy: Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Simmer until thickened (3-5 mins).
  5. Finish Cooking: Return patties to the skillet, spooning gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Best served with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken.
  • Gravy thickens as it cools—add a splash of broth if needed.
  • Let patties rest 5 minutes before serving for juicier results.
