Hamburger Patties
- 2 pounds ground beef chuck
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ large onion Vidalia or other sweet onion, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces white button or cremini mushrooms or a mixture sliced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Place the first 9 ingredients (ground chuck, bread crumbs, onions, and seasonings) in a large bowl and gently mix until incorporated. Divide the meat mixture into six portions, shaping each portion into 6 meat patties.
In a large skillet — I use a cast iron skillet — heat oil on medium high heat until shimmering and then add the meat patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. Remove the patties from the skillet and tent foil over the top to keep them warm.
Add butter to the skillet and allow to completely melt over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté 5 to 6 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and golden. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon about 2 minutes or until the flour is well incorporated into the mushrooms.
Slowly add the broth to the skillet and whisk until gravy is smooth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add the hamburger patties to the pan. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through. Top the patties with Crispy Fried Onions and serve over rice or potatoes.
