Ingredients
  

For the patties

  • 1½ pounds ground beef 80/20
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the gravy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2½ cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper just until combined.
  • Shape into 6 oval patties. Press a small indentation into the center of each.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Sear patties 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Add onions and cook 6 to 8 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms (if using) and cook 4 to 5 minutes more. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture. Stir constantly for 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, and Dijon (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Return patties (and any juices) to the skillet. Spoon gravy over the tops. Cover and simmer on low for 12 to 15 minutes, until patties reach 160°F internally.
  • Taste gravy and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with plenty of gravy.

Notes

  • Mix the patties gently. Over-mixing makes them tough.
  • If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of broth. If it’s thin, simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
  • Optional thickener: stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cold water) while the gravy simmers.
