• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian style) 🍞
• 1 large egg 🥚
• 1 tablespoon ketchup 🍅
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)

For the Gravy:

• 2 tablespoons butter 🧈
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced 🧅
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 🍄
• 2 cups beef broth 🥣
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup 🍅
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 🌾
• Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 🌿

Instructions 👨‍🍳

Step 1: Make the Patties

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix until just combined—do not overmix to keep the patties tender.
3. Form the mixture into 4-6 oval patties about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 2: Cook the Patties

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. (They don’t need to be fully cooked yet.)
3. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3: Make the Gravy

1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and mushrooms, stirring well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
5. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
6. Add the Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Stir to combine. Let the gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Step 4: Simmer the Patties in Gravy

1. Return the browned beef patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
2. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the patties simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and tender. Stir the gravy occasionally.
3. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. 🌿
2. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles to soak up the rich gravy.
