Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Patties:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ⅓ cup seasoned breadcrumbs

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • Pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

For the Mushroom Gravy:

  • 1 medium onion, sliced or chopped

  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons flour

  • 1¾ cups beef broth

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prep patties: In a large bowl, combine all beef patty ingredients except olive oil. Mix with your hands and form 4 evenly sized oval patties (½–¾” thick).

  2. Cook patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties 5–6 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside, leaving fat in the skillet.

  3. Sauté veggies: Add onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook 7–9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates and vegetables are nicely browned. Transfer to the same plate as the patties.

  4. Make gravy: Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the skillet, then sprinkle in flour. Cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, to remove raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.

  5. Combine and finish: Return patties, onions, and mushrooms (and any juices from the plate) to the skillet. Simmer 5–7 minutes until patties are cooked through and gravy thickens. If gravy is too thick, add a splash of water or extra beef broth.

  6. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, ideally with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the gravy.

Notes

  • Even patties: Make patties the same thickness to ensure uniform cooking.

  • Gravy consistency: If too thin, simmer a few extra minutes. If too thick, thin with additional broth.

  • Make-ahead: Patties can be formed a day ahead and refrigerated.
