Ingredients
Scale
Patties
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- â…“ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Gravy
- 2 packets brown gravy mix
- 2 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Make Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated. Shape the mixture into 4 even-sized patties.
- Cook Patties: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center.
- Make Gravy: Reduce the heat to low. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix and hot water until smooth. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to the gravy mixture.
- Simmer: Pour the prepared gravy over the cooked patties in the skillet. Let it simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes or until the gravy has thickened and is heated through, coating the patties in a rich, savory sauce.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
- You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce if needed.
- Ensure patties are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a classic meal.
