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
- Prepare the Patties: Combine all patty ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands until well incorporated. Divide the mixture and shape into 4 even patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook, flipping occasionally, until they are browned on both sides and no longer pink inside, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Make the Gravy: Reduce the heat to low. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix with hot water until completely smooth. Stir in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to blend all flavors evenly.
- Simmer Patties in Gravy: Pour the prepared gravy over the cooked patties in the skillet. Allow it to simmer gently until the gravy is heated through and has thickened to your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions to the patties or gravy.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content, or substitute with ground turkey for a lighter option.
- Ensure the gravy is fully heated and thickened before serving for the best texture.
