Description
A nostalgic dish featuring seasoned ground beef patties topped with rich mushroom gravy, perfect for family dinners or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for searing)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
- 2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (slurry, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, tomato sauce or ketchup, egg, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix until just combined and shape into 4 patties.
- Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides, roughly 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking until softened—about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and return the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the patties cook through.
- To thicken the gravy, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the gravy and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
For optimal moisture, use meat that’s 80% lean. Avoid overmixing the beef mixture to maintain a tender patty. Let mushrooms caramelize for a rich flavor.
