Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Breadcrumbs | ½ cup |
| Milk | ¼ cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ½ teaspoon |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Vegetable oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Onion, sliced | 1 medium |
| Mushrooms, sliced | 1 cup |
| Beef broth | 2 cups |
| Cornstarch | 2 tablespoons |
| Water | 2 tablespoons |
| Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) | 1 tablespoon |
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined and shape into 4 equal patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove patties and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with water to form a slurry and stir it into the simmering broth. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the hamburger patties to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for 5 additional minutes to heat through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up every bit of the rich gravy.
