Instructions

1. Make the patties

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, chopped onion, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
2. Shape into 4 oval patties.

2. Cook the patties

• Heat a skillet over medium-high.
• Brown patties 3–4 minutes per side (they’ll finish cooking in the gravy).
• Remove patties and set aside.

3. Make the gravy

1. In the same skillet, melt butter (or add oil) and sauté mushrooms and onions until soft.
2. Sprinkle flour over veggies, stir for 1–2 minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire.
4. Simmer until thickened (5–7 minutes).
5. Season with salt & pepper.

4. Combine & simmer

• Return patties to skillet, spoon gravy over them.
• Simmer 10–15 minutes until patties are fully cooked (internal temp 160°F/71°C).

Serve

• Over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
• Sprinkle fresh parsley for garnish.

Tips

• Don’t overmix the meat—keeps patties tender.
• Optional: add a splash of red wine to the gravy for extra depth.
• Shortcut: use pre-sliced mushrooms and store-bought beef broth.
