Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) beef broth
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, finely chopped onion, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 160°F/71°C). Remove patties and keep warm.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Cook diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.
  7. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add heavy cream and Dijon mustard if using. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Return patties to skillet, spoon gravy over them, and heat together for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Serve patties topped with creamy mushroom gravy, paired with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or green beans.

Notes

Gently mix the meat to avoid tough patties. Let patties develop a crust before flipping. Cook mushrooms until golden brown for best flavor. Use a whisk to prevent lumps in gravy. Taste and adjust seasoning at the end. For gluten-free, substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and plant-based butter.
