Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the Patties:<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 pounds ground beef<\/p>\n

1 egg<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup minced onion<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup breadcrumbs<\/p>\n

1 crushed garlic clove<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon pepper<\/p>\n

For the Gravy:<\/p>\n

1 small sliced onion<\/p>\n

6 ounces sliced mushrooms<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups beef broth<\/p>\n

1 brown gravy mix packet<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons cornstarch<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start by preheating your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, minced onion, breadcrumbs, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n

Mix everything together gently until evenly combined. Once mixed, form the mixture into patties, about 4-6 depending on your preference for size.<\/p>\n

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate and set them aside.<\/p>\n

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking for 5-6 minutes until they soften and begin to brown.<\/p>\n

Next, add the beef broth to the skillet, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.<\/p>\n

Stir in the brown gravy mix and bring the mixture to a simmer. If you\u2019re using, add the ketchup and Dijon mustard at this point. Let the gravy cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.<\/p>\n

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a little bit of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into.<\/p>\n

the gravy mixture while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook for another minute until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.<\/p>\n

Return the beef patties to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the gravy. Reduce the heat to low.<\/p>\n

cover, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. This will allow the patties to soak up the delicious gravy flavor.<\/p>\n

Once done, remove from heat and serve immediately, perhaps with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the savory sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color.<\/p>\n

How to Make<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start by preparing the meat mixture, ensuring that all ingredients are mixed thoroughly but not overworked. This will keep the patties tender. When cooking the patties.<\/p>\n

be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will make it harder to get a nice sear. Allow the patties to brown properly before flipping them to ensure a crispy exterior.<\/p>\n

For the gravy, simmering the broth with the mushrooms and onions gives it a depth of flavor that\u2019s hard to beat.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a smoother gravy, you can blend the onions and mushrooms into the broth once softened, or simply use an immersion blender right in the skillet.<\/p>\n

When adding the cornstarch slurry, do so gradually and continue stirring to avoid clumping.<\/p>\n

The gravy should thicken quickly, and you can adjust the consistency by adding a little extra \u00a0broth if it gets too thick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
