Ingredients
  

For the Meat Mixture
  • 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor) Use good-quality meat for juicy patties.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (Plain or seasoned) If using seasoned, you can reduce the amount of salt.
  • 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 medium Onion (Sliced)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, diced onion, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 6 to 8 oval-shaped patties of similar size and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and brown each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  2. Remove the browned patties and set them aside. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Sauté sliced onions in the butter until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add flour and stir for 2 minutes to thicken the gravy.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture thickens.
  5. Nestle the browned patties back into the skillet, cover, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45 minutes.
  6. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Serving
  1. Allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy over mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

For a thicker gravy, let it simmer longer after adding liquid ingredients. Serve this dish with a variety of sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
