Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (divided)
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Form into 4–6 oval-shaped patties.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the skillet if needed. Sauté sliced onions and mushrooms over medium heat until golden and tender, about 8 minutes.
  4. Pour beef broth into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Bring to a simmer. If using, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the gravy to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Return patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, cover, and simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes until patties are cooked through and flavors meld.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and broth.Use canned mushrooms in a pinch, but fresh mushrooms offer better texture and flavor.To thicken gravy without cornstarch, simmer uncovered until it reduces.Great for meal prep—leftovers taste even better the next day.
