Ingredients
For the Beef Patties
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the Country Gravy
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 3 cups milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Accompaniments
- Mashed potatoes or egg noodles
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Patties:
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly incorporated, but avoid overmixing. Shape into 6 patties. - Cook the Patties:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the patties for 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the browned patties to an oven-proof plate and place in a preheated oven at 300°F for 15 minutes to finish cooking. - Make the Country Gravy:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and melt butter. Whisk in flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir constantly for about 7 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Gradually add milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. - Combine and Serve:
Add the cooked patties back into the skillet with the gravy. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, with plenty of gravy.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or more cayenne to the gravy.
- Make sure not to overmix the beef to keep the patties tender.
- If the gravy is too thick, add a little extra milk to thin it out.
