Ingredients
  

For the Beef Patties
  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor) Use a blend for moisture
  • 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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and pepper.
  2. Form into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Let them rest while preparing the gravy base.
Cooking
  1. Brown patties in an oven-safe skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden; remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions in butter. Add flour, stir for 2 minutes, then whisk in broth and cream.
  3. Nestle patties into the gravy. Cover tightly and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for 15 more.
  4. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or fluffy rice. A simple side of steamed green beans, roasted carrots, or a crisp salad balances the richness. Garnish with chopped parsley for color.
