Ingredients
  

For the patties

  • 1½ pounds lean ground beef 80/20 or 85/15
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup finely diced yellow onion or grated onion
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the gravy

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium 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 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

For serving

  • 8 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
  • Chopped parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  • Divide mixture into 4 to 6 portions and shape into oval patties about ¾-inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear patties 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, then add sliced onions (and mushrooms if using). Cook 6 to 8 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet as you go.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon (if using), and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Return patties to the skillet. Spoon gravy over the top, cover, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, until patties are cooked through (160°F / 74°C).
  • While patties simmer, bake Texas toast according to package directions until crisp and golden.
  • To serve, place toast on plates, top with a patty, and spoon gravy and onions over everything. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Toast the bread a bit darker than usual so it stays sturdy under the gravy.
If gravy gets too thick, add a splash of broth. Too thin? Simmer uncovered for a few minutes.
Store patties and gravy separately from toast for the best leftovers.
