Ingredients
  

For the patties
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
For the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the patties
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Optional, for thickening
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, milk, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and shape into patties.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook patties until browned on both sides. Remove patties and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  3. If using, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then add to the sauce to thicken.
  4. Return patties to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and let simmer for a few minutes.
  5. Serve with mashed potatoes or your choice of sides.

Notes

Timing is everything; let the patties get a nice brown crust for better flavor. For swaps, crushed crackers or rolled oats can replace breadcrumbs. For extra juiciness, add a splash of beef broth to the meat mixture.
