Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp cooking oil canola or vegetable
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground chuck 80/20
  • 3/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp hot sauce optional
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 1 sweet onion sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for gravy
  • 1/4 tsp seasoned salt for gravy
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper for gravy
  • 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce optional
  • 1 tsp browning sauce optional
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced, optional

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, gently combine ground chuck, chopped onion, egg, hot sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Shape into 4–6 patties.
  3. Dredge each patty lightly in flour and cook until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly caramelized.
  5. Whisk together beef broth, water, flour, seasoned salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and browning sauce. Pour into skillet and stir until thickened.
  6. Return patties to the skillet, add mushrooms if using, and coat with gravy.
  7. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until patties are cooked through and tender.
  8. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or vegetables.

Notes

Add breadcrumbs to patties if needed for binding. For variation, try a tomato-based gravy instead of onion gravy.
