Ingredients
For the Patties:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 crushed garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
For the Gravy:
1 small sliced onion
6 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 brown gravy mix packet
1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
Prepare the Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, minced onion, breadcrumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—do not overwork the meat. Shape into 6–8 patties.
Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
Make the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk the beef broth and gravy mix until smooth. Pour into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Let cook for about 5 minutes.
Enhance the Flavor (Optional)
Stir in ketchup and Dijon mustard for added tang and richness.
Thicken the Gravy
If needed, mix cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry, then add to the skillet. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Simmer with Patties
Return the patties to the skillet, spoon gravy over them, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve
Serve hot with extra gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
