Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor) Use a blend for optimal flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned)
  • 1 Egg (Beaten)
  • 1 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 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 the mixture into 6–8 oval-shaped patties. Let them rest while preparing the gravy base.
Cooking
  1. In an oven-safe skillet, brown the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions in butter until soft. Add flour and stir for 2 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream.
  4. Nestle the browned patties into the gravy. Cover the skillet tightly and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
  5. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread. For extra flavor, pour a little extra gravy over the top.
