Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned, or panko)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: shredded Swiss or mozzarella cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, finely diced onion, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 6–8 oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Brown the patties for 2–3 minutes per side (they do not need to cook through). Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  5. In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and golden. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1–2 minutes until it smells nutty. Slowly whisk in beef broth, then add soy sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and optional smoked paprika. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Pour the onion gravy evenly over the patties in the baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese if desired.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until patties are cooked through (internal temp 160°F) and gravy is bubbly. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF breadcrumbs and flour. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based milk and butter. Sear patties for best flavor and avoid overmixing the meat. Resting after baking helps the gravy thicken. Add extra veggies or cheese for variations. Can be assembled ahead and baked later.
