Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce divided
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

  • Mix and shape the patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and shape into 6 oval patties.
  • Brown the patties: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties 3-4 minutes per side, then remove them to a plate (they won't be fully cooked through yet).
  • Cook the onion and mushrooms: Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Build the gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir to coat. Cook 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the beef broth, remaining 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon. Simmer until thickened, 3-4 minutes.
  • Simmer the patties in the gravy: Return the patties to the skillet and spoon the gravy over the top. Cover and simmer 12-15 minutes, until the patties reach 160°F.
  • Serve: Spoon the patties and gravy over mashed potatoes.

Notes

Brown the patties first to build a crust, then finish cooking them in the gravy so they reach 160°F without drying out.
