Ingredients
Scale
Patties
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ⅓ 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: Combine all patty ingredients including ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly using your hands until the mixture is well combined. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook Patties: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned on both sides and the interior is no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Make Gravy: Lower the heat to low. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown gravy packets and hot water until smooth. Stir in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor.
- Simmer: Pour the prepared gravy over the cooked patties in the skillet. Let it simmer gently until the gravy thickens and is heated throughout, about 3-5 minutes, ensuring the patties soak up the rich sauce.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to minimize excess fat and achieve tender patties.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- For thicker gravy, allow it to simmer a few extra minutes or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
- Ensure patties are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
