Instructions

Get prepped

Mince 1-2 clove garlic, slice 1 medium onion, and measure out all ingredients.

Make the patties

In a large bowl, mix 1 pound ground beef, 1 egg, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, garlic, seasoned salt & pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
Form into 6 patties and flatten to your desired thickness. Thinner patties cook faster. Lightly coat each one with flour. Use a total of 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.

Cook the patties

Heat a little vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides. They don’t need to be fully cooked yet. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Make the gravy

Add the sliced onions to the same skillet and cook until soft and translucent.
Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir well, then slowly pour in 2 cup beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir and let simmer until the gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Simmer the patties

Return the patties to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top. Let them simmer in the gravy for about 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Notes

For extra juicy patties, don’t overwork the meat when mixing.

If you love a richer gravy, stir in a pat of butter at the end.

Let the patties rest in the gravy for a few minutes before serving to absorb more flavor.

What to do with leftovers

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Substitutions/Additions

Garlic powder can be used in place of fresh garlic if you prefer.

These can be made with ground beef, chicken, turkey or pork. Both chicken and turkey will need extra seasoning so avoid being bland. A mix of beef and pork works well too.
