Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the patties
  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned)
  • 1 large Egg (Beaten)
  • 1 large Onion (Finely diced)
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
For the gravy
  • 3 tbsp Butter (Salted or unsalted)
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour (For thickening gravy)
  • 2 cups Beef broth (Low sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 large Onion (Sliced)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper.
  2. Form the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties and let them rest.
Cooking
  1. In an oven-safe skillet, brown the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden, then set them aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions in butter until they’re tender.
  3. Sprinkle in flour and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the broth and heavy cream until combined.
  4. Nestle the patties into the creamy gravy, cover tightly, and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for another 15 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill the patties for about 15 minutes before browning to help them hold their shape. For a healthier option, swap ground turkey for beef and adjust seasoning. Adding mushrooms or BBQ sauce can enhance the flavors.
