Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
Special equipment needed:
- Large mixing bowl
- Large skillet
- Whisk
- Wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into an oval-shaped patty.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened.
5. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the flour is lightly browned.
6. Gradually pour in beef broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low.
7. Return the patties to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the patties are heated through and the gravy has thickened.
8. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
