Ingredients
For the Patties
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned)
- 1 large Egg (Beaten)
- 1 medium Onion (Finely diced)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
For the Gravy
- 3 tbsp Butter (Salted or unsalted)
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour (For thickening gravy)
- 2 cups Beef broth (Low sodium preferred)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large Onion (Sliced)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely diced onion, salt, and black pepper until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Form the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties.
- Allow the shaped patties to rest for about 10 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the patties in the skillet for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the patties and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the sliced onions for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir for about 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream until fully combined and smooth.
- Nestle the browned patties into the gravy, cover the skillet tightly, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
- Remove the cover and bake for another 15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
Serving
- Let the skillet rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
