Ingredients
For the Patties
- 1 ½ lbs lean ground beef
- ½ cup panko or plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
For the Gravy
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 (1-ounce) packet brown gravy mix or onion soup mix
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix. Form into 6 oval patties.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
- Place sliced onions and mushrooms in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place seared patties on top.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together beef broth, gravy/soup mix, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the patties.
- Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- 30 minutes before serving, remove patties. Mix cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry and whisk it into the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 15-20 minutes to thicken the gravy.
- Return patties to the slow cooker to warm through. Serve immediately over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
