Description
A comforting classic featuring juicy beef patties simmered in savory mushroom gravy, served over creamy mashed potatoes. It’s the ultimate cozy dinner that tastes like home.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
1⁄3 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1⁄4 cup finely minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
3 cups mashed potatoes (prepared)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until just combined.
2. Shape mixture into 4 to 6 oval patties, about 3⁄4 inch thick.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear patties for 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
5. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to form a roux.
6. Gradually pour in beef broth while whisking. Add Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
7. Return patties to the skillet and spoon gravy over top. Simmer covered on low heat for 15–20 minutes.
8. While patties simmer, prepare mashed potatoes to your preference.
9. Plate mashed potatoes, top with patties, and pour over mushroom gravy. Garnish if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Don’t overmix the beef mixture or your patties will turn out tough.
For a richer gravy, add a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream at the end.
Leftovers reheat best in a skillet with a splash of broth or water to revive the sauce.
